Taxco & Native American Haul

[trdhrdr007]

I got an early invitation to a local estate sale last Thursday. Had a lot of stuff going on getting ready for a music festival I was going to so I didn't get there until a couple minutes before it was supposed to start...& there were several people that had reserve piles by then. I didn't see much they got that I would have wanted & was able to pick up a few pieces of Taxco and Native American jewelry. I was also able to leave a list with things I'd like to have. Some I bid in the 55-65% range but most were at half price. All but 2 of those didn't sell at full price & were waiting for me when I got back from the music festival. The first picture is some of the items I paid full price for. Neither of the sand cast bracelets are marked. The 2nd pic is some of the reduced price items. The rest show details of the reduced price items.

I'm hoping someone may recognize some of the marks I'm not familiar with. First pic is from the massive Taxco choker. It looks like it's signed JGL & yes the Mexico is upside down & backwards. Second pic is from the multi color stone pin & the last is from the Zuni bolo. Sorry the bolo mark is turned sideways.

That's a great haul!! The SC piece is from Silver Cloud co. The Zuni piece is from Sadie & Morris Laahty. Here's a couple of sites that might help you out. Great job!!

The Taxco piece is just that: "Taxco" nobody particularly special, but the nice thing is, it's Taxco! You can easily get double melt for it; but because it looks heavy and chunky I would start at four times melt OBO. You found some nice pieces.
