    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    This bracelet is sterling silver but no marks, just a lot of stamped marks showing on inside.
    Any ideas on tribe, maker era etc. ?

    Thank You

    Pretty cool huh Joy ? I like it too, it was in a box I got yesterday from an old sweet lady, a box full of jewelry for $20, can't beat that.

    komokwa The Truth is out there...!

    mostly , yes.
    there are always exceptions though....
    since it's older you may only need to polish it to a dull shine...to keep the design a little darker so it stands out..........imo

    Those skinny 40s-60s tourist bracelets are very collectible. People stack them. I agree with lightly polish and if you list on the internet list as Vintage Southwestern Sterling Silver (assuming it is) Thunderbird Bracelet.
