Dig It - 1/26/23

Wee Doggy Fellow Seekers! This is Lonesome’s 100th post or whatever they want to call them! Big shout out to all you Seekers who have followed me in the past few years, as well as, put up with my orneriness and insanity. And a big Howdy to some of my new Fellow Seekers, don’t worry hopefully these stories will get better. Unlike a lot of the horseshit and cow pies you read on the internet, I have tried to make these tales as accurate as possible. I do check my facts. I figure you all deserve a treat for putting up with me, so here you go!

Fellow Seekers, you only get to see or own a bracelet like this once or twice in your life. When I told you that story about the first three bracelets I bought some 42 years ago, this is one of the other three. Talk about being lucky and starting with the best. This piece must date to the 1880s, there is one sort of proto stamp in the center and again where the leaves/feathers meet on either end. This is what the greats looked like at the beginning of Navajo Silversmithing. I hope you Fellow Seekers enjoy it. I don’t know if Old Lonesome has another 100 posts in him, but we will see. Happy Trails! Lonesome, out.
