I have scoured my resources and keep coming up empty! I have seen this cartoon style Harvey Era?? before. I thought it was in a book, but I have exhausted that avenue. I would appreciate any help identifying this style or silversmith! I am 99% sure it is in the Harvey era, just cant find anything anywhere on it. I remember seeing smiling cactus people as well as Steers with smiles on their faces…Thanks in advance!

This is in Pat and Kim Messier’s book! It was originally by AwaTsireh, and then the design was knocked off by Bell Trading!

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!! Thanks Bree! The one book I have loaned out!! Ha!
Not sure where mine fits in that time line. Only marked STERLING. it is the double ring bolo slide on the back rather than one of the newer Bennet slides, so it may be a bit older than the Bell…hard to tell.
Thanks Bree!!
