    Description

    THESE VINTAGE HANDMADE NAVAJO BUTTONS HAD BEEN STITCHED ON AN OLD VELVET NAVAJO BLOUSE THAT I PURCHASED AT THE ICONIC HUBBELL TRADING POST ON THE NAVAJO RESERVATION IN ARIZONA ABOUT THIRTY YEARS AGO.  UNFORTUNATELY THE BLOUSE  WAS TOO THREAD BARE TO SALVAGE BUT THE BUTTONS  ARE QUITE VERSATILE AND COULD BE SEWN ON A HAT, PURSE,BLOUSE OR JACKET.
    THE PARTIALLY DOMED BUTTONS WEIGH 24 GRAMS TOGETHER.
    THEY ARE ABOUT 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER.
    THE BUTTONS HAVE INTRICATELY STAMPED  NAVAJO DESIGNS WITH REPOUSSE.
    THERE ARE COPPER LOOPS SOLDERED ON THE BACKS FOR SECURING THEM WITH THREAD OR WIRE.
    THE UNPOLISHED SILVER HAS A GREAT PATINA INDICATING EVIDENCE OF AGE.
    THE BUTTONS ARE UNMARKED BUT TEST AS STERLING.
    I HAVE ENJOYED COLLECTING  NATIVE AMERICAN AND TAXCO SILVER JEWELRY FOR OVER FORTY YEARS BUT AM NOW DOWNSIZING AND SELLING MANY OF MY PRIZED FINDS.
    THE BRACELET IS IN FINE UNPOLISHED CONDITION WITH SUBTLE INDICATIONS TO BE EXPECTED OF AGE AND USE
    THESE CLASSIC  NATIVE AMERICAN BUTTONS   WOULD BE AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDITION TO ANY NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELRY COLLECTION.
    USPS SHIPPING  IN THE CONTINENTAL USA WITH TRACKING IS FREE.
    PLEASE CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND ASK ANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING.
    PAYMENT IS DUE AND EXPECTED WITHIN 2 DAYS  OF THE WINNING BID.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING!
