J.J. Hawkes MASSIVE turquoise belt buckle

Hey all. We are getting ready to put up this massive buckle on eBay, however I can’t find any artist info on J.J. Hawkes.

Additionally, I’ve never had a piece like this and have no idea what a realistic value is. Is anyone familiar with the artist? Can anyone suggest a high and low price?

might that be the owner? At one time, owners even put their ss# on their valuables.

You are correct about the social, but if you zoom in, you can see a pictomark engraved above the name as well. It looks like a bird of sorts? Which made me think it’s wasn’t a name. But who knows :woman_shrugging:t2:

I think a low would be $250 with a high at $400.

How do I find your eBay auctions? I can’t afford this but would like to browse your other items. This buckle is amazing!

Hey @harmonart, my uncle owns a pawn shop back in CA, and I am helping him price out a few things. The eBay store name is SunCityCoin if you wanna take a look. All of the NA jewelry is priced high since it’s freshly listed, but he is open to offers on anything.
