My great uncle, Powell Wilson, was a teacher at the New Mexico School for the Deaf in Santa Fe, New Mexico in the early 1920s. In appreciation for educating their deaf children, Navajo parents frequently gave my great uncle gifts. One of those gifts was this antique Navajo sterling silver and turquoise Thunderbirds cuff bracelet.The bracelet features two thunderbirds and a single turquoise stone. The construction is braided wire. The bracelet is about 7 1/2" in circumference and weighs 31 grams.There are thousands of knock-off pieces of Navajo jewelry, but this is the real deal with a traced history going back almost 100 years.So that all enthusiasts of Navajo Jewelry have a chance to win this piece, I am starting the bidding at 99 cents.For those who immediately recognize the importance of this piece, I have put the Buy-It-Now price at $249.00.
