Need help if possible dating this Native American bracelet.

Thanks for looking. This bracelet has swatika's on it (the tape covers them) so can't be sold on ebay unless it was made before 1933. Anyway to tell? It is not signed.

Hi, this is called 'whirling logs' not a swastika.  there are many for sale on Ebay, Harvey Era or Trading Post Whirling Logs are the best keywords, they are very collectable- ! Good Find- !!

Thanks treasure, the swastika's are under the blue tape, not visible. Wasn't sure I could show them here. Thanks for the whirling logs tip, I didn't know that.

Thanks Sarah, good read. I figured there was a cut-off point when NA stopped using the whirling log symbol. 1940 makes perfect sense. Maybe an expert will come along who knows when the various stamps or dies used were in use.

Thanks d-f-s, interesting read. I now have the Fred Harvey Jewelry book and learned that there were about 44 symbols used in their jewelry.
