Vintage Southwestern Style Stamped Copper Thunderbird and Arrow Cuff Bracelet - This vintage Southwestern style cuff bracelet is characteristic of mid-20th century tourist trade jewelry, often associated with the Fred Harvey era. The piece is constructed from a solid copper band featuring hand-stamped traditional motifs, including thunderbirds, crossed arrows, sun faces, and crescent moons. The recessed areas of the stamping have a darkened patina that accentuates the decorative elements. The bracelet is open-backed for an adjustable fit. Although the design elements are visually consistent with pieces produced by manufacturers such as the Bell Trading Post, no maker hallmarks or metal stamps are visible on the item. Band Width: Approximately 0.6 inches Interior Diameter: Approximately 2.3 inches Total Exterior Span: Approximately 2.6 inches. Good vintage condition. The bracelet shows signs of age and wear, including surface scratches and significant tarnish or patination on both the interior and exterior surfaces. The stamped motifs remain well-defined and the overall structure is sound.
