STERLING BRACELET

[jayceerichjr]

I WANT TO LIST THIS BRACELET BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHO THE MAKER IS.  ANYONE KNOW?  IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLDER WILLIAM SPRATLING SIGGY BUT DOESN'T HAVE THE CIRCLE WITH SPRATLING IN IT.

I have checked every silver link I have for these initials, I do think it is Navajo.  Does anyone have a good link for that?  thank you so much!

The initials are JS, I've seen a lot of Mexican pieces with that mark but don't know if it was ever ID'd.

It kinda looks like a cursive E

Hi,

Just to throw this out, but when I first saw the signature it looked like a Damaso Gallegos signature (albeit a little messed up).

A quick google check shows Edward Ball as the manufacturer of sterling holloware, 1918-1919 in the US.

This bracelet looks either Mexican or southwestern in style and nothing at all like his company's work (check replacements.com)...as well as totally not the style of the era.

Although I have no idea who made it, I'd be pretty sure that it wasn't Edward Ball.

That was my initial thought, too...but I can't quite make it line up w/ his known marks 😞

Sorry...I was replying to the comment about Damaso Gallegos

It is definitely Mexican, I have sold several pieces with that mark.  Whoever it is often copies Gallegos pieces, especially the Xmas holly and bell ones.
