<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 330090, member: 6444"]Gee, I don't agree with this. In my opinion "old pawn" is the correct term for any handmade native american jewelry from the late 19th to early 20th century that could have been in a pawn store, regardless of whether it can be proved that it really was. Almost nobody would have held onto a pawn store receipt from the early 20th century so that isn't a fair test. And a pawn store price tag after that time doesn't really show anything either since a lot of that will be Fred Harvey or other more modern pieces (buying from a pawn store today or 30 years ago doesn't make it old pawn).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
