VINTAGE Fred Harvey Era Snake Turquoise Navajo Bar Pin
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is an unusual Fred Harvey Era pin with a snake guarding his green turquoise. This is an older pin with a fold-over hook which was made before the manufactured pin clasp. It would make a very special addition to a Fred Harvey collection.
Fred Harvey operated hospitality stops, hotels and cafes, along the railroads to the southwest. Adventuring tourists brought home the romance of rail travel through the wild west with these keepsakes made by the "peaceful Indians" there. This is truly a piece of American History. Unsigned which is typical of these older pieces.

Just under 2 1/8" long x 3/8" wide

Care Instructions
Protect your jewelry from harsh chemicals and solvents as they can damage turquoise and other stones. I recommend using a Sunshine Cloth or similar to polish your silver. Do not immerse or subject your jewelry to running water as it can dislodge the stone from the setting.
