Pierced Frame Fred Harvey Era Thunderbird and Turquoise Pin Native American Navajo - Vintage
This is an unusual Fred Harvey era pin with it's pierced frame surrounding a Thunderbird. It's beautifully stamped with a bright blue turquoise at the center. This is an unsigned pin, which is typical of these older pieces.
Fred Harvey operated hospitality stops, hotels and cafes, along the railroads to the southwest. Adventuring tourists brought home the romance of rail travel through the wild west with these keepsakes made by the "peaceful Indians" there. This is truly a piece of American History.

Care Instructions
Protect your jewelry from harsh chemicals and solvents as they can damage turquoise and other stones. I recommend using a Sunshine Cloth or similar to polish your silver. Do not immerse or subject your jewelry to running water as it can dislodge the stone from the setting.
