Thank you for providing this pivotal information about Snow Horse. It reads to me as a firsthand account from this lady Marilyn who personally knew the Woolseys. IMHO, sounds like the Snow Horse mystery is solved ~ the Woolseys owned a retail shop in Green Mountain Falls, and Snow Horse was a line of their jewelry.

A great many thanks are due to @chicfarmer for bringing the listing from flyingtigerantiques.com to light, that contained the first mention of this jewelry not being crafted by native hands, which was backed up by @Fort.Thunderbird.Trading.Post, who is deserving of praise for chiming in and keeping an open mind. @singing has my gratitude for taking the time to find the ring listing and discussing the matter in question with Marilyn, who provided an abundant amount of information, that coiincides right along with @Fort.Thunderbird.Trading.Post’s initial reply.
This collaborative effort, to seek the truth and provide information for those interested, is awe-inspiring. I am thankful for the discussion, and I am compelled to agree, @Patina, it took no time at all to get this one squared away!
@TAH, I’ve a few things to contribute to your “Belt Buckles and Concho Belts” thread, including a second phase concho-turned buckle that may be related to yours! The way you composed the photographs of you and your family’s jewelry, with the clothing, hats, and other daily items, is simply beautiful, and very impressive.
The effort made by the Richards’ is unrivaled, and the product of that effort is such a great resource. As you pointed out, the Hosteen Goodluck examples don’t quite add up, strictly speaking to dates of creation. I feel the slippery slope of attributions can easily be slipped upon, (as I admittedly did at the beginning of this thread, reliant on my families stories)
Thank you for your response and kind words. Your contributions to this community have been enjoyable, informative and quite entertaining. I look forward to conversing with you in the future as I’m certain this passion for belt buckles, concho belts, and all things early is shared by us.
Thank you all again, for a wonderful experience!
Regards,
Aaron
