Vintage Native American Leather Hatband With Old Silver & Turquoise Conchos
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:761024 | Material: Leather |
| Metal: Silver | Main Stone: Turquoise |
This offer is for a beautiful old Native American-made hatband, artist initials STC or STG (I'm not sure). It consists of a black leather band (in very good pliable condition), 1/2" wide, and 15 silver conchos (14 with old turquoise stone centers - and the 15th for sizing the band). The conchos have a beautiful patina and each one is 1" X 3/4" with a diamond pattern. Conchos, I'm told, are old Indian silver. Please take a good look at all the pictures. My Dad got this ...in the 60/70's so I'm not sure exactly how old it is. Band is around 22" and has at least 2 more inches of leather strap for expansion. This would make a great addition to any hat, or for your collection of Native-made jewelry. Thanks for looking, I'd like to see it go to a good home. My dad wore it all the time. Please ask any question.
