100 Collectible Native American Silversmiths: And Their Hallmarks

by Bille Hougart

Overview

Hallmarks identify thousands of Native American silversmiths -- so many that even seasoned collectors cannot remember them all. However, with concise information at hand, anyone can become an expert at spotting the most important marks.

This book helps you do that. It has hallmarks and brief biographies of 100 Native American silversmiths, chosen after consultation with experts in the field. Silversmiths and designers in this book have all passed away, making their work even more desirable and collectible.

160 pages, in color...biographies and hallmarks...indexed and user friendly. It is small enough to fit into a small tote bag. And, the companion ePub can be downloaded to your portable devices.
