Additional info: The Fred Harvey Era refers to a time frame from about the mid 1950s back to around the turn of the last century. Tourist bought Native Jewelry and other items while traveling by Rail and later by Highway. This old bracelet is from that era and likely came from one of the shops that made several of these. It was tested as being either sterling (.925) or at least coin (.900) silver.
Condition: Pretty good for its age. Normal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items. There is also a stone in the middle that looks like it was replaced (you can spot it with the slightly mis-shapen bezel.
