Hello everyone,
Anyone know how old this one is ? Is this sun mark a common mark for tourist jewelry ? I seem to have a burried memory of something like that. Bell trading post or something ? Then again I think most of their pieces are NOT sterling silver. Does anyone recognize this mark ?
Off to google but wanted to post in case anyone could help me here.
Thanks !

Marked Sterling with a Sunshine

Ok so Bell trading definitely made sterling, but this is not their mark. Looking at plenty of sunshine/ sunrise marks. Have not found this one yet.

It looks older to me, mermaid. Did you check for pictograph marks here?: Indian Native American jewelry marks (art-amerindien.com) If you can't find it there, I'm sure turquoisepeople.com can help you with the mark. They're very nice and helpful there. I spend a lot of time there lurking and drooling over all the N/A jewelry.

I did look there and no luck. Thanks for the suggestion for turquoisepeople.com. I will reach out to them.

I've had pieces with this symbol as well, was not able to figure out. I just took another look through all books, could not find it....

Thanks treasure, I may just have to list as vintage signed sterling sun or something.
