This is for a sterling silver and turquoise bolo tie.  It's in very good condition with normal wear and marks.  Could use a nice polishing.  The bolo pendant is 1" wide at the top and goes down to 3/4" at the bottom x 1-1/4" tall.  Look closely at the pictures and see how nice the silver work is.  The back has a patent pending Bennett slide.  The pendant is signed R.H. which is the registered mark of Robert Haley according to Bille Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks" book.  It also has the AT mark of Atkinson Trading.  Atkinson was a family trading business that had numerous shops throughout the southwest and had many silversmiths who made jewelry for them at one time.  The Atkinson store using this AT mark closed in the early 1990's.  This bolo tie has a black leather braided cord with sterling silver tips.  The bolo is sold AS-IS, so look closely at all the pictures for condition information and feel free to ask any questions before bidding.  This tested positive for silver in a JSP silver acid test.  There is an etched mark that looks like "B-N" on the back of the slide.  I don't know if that's from the artist or if it was etched later.

Sorry… USPS increased their rates an average of 11.9% in 2019.

The fine print:  All used or preowned items are sold AS-IS.  I buy most of my items from estate and private sales.  This is a pre-owned item, so please look at all the pictures carefully for further condition information and ask any questions before bidding.  I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.  I sell vintage, not new, so please take into consideration that your item may not look brand new.  Normally, I don’t clean or polish my vintage items outside of possibly a light dusting or damp wipe.  I'll leave that to your discretion.  Regarding jewelry; I'm not a jeweler, so my interpretations of stones are what I believe they are and should be considered for description purposes only and are not guaranteed.  Marked metals will be described as marked (gold, sterling, pewter, etc.).  Any items you see in the pictures used for display or size reference (coin, bill, etc.) are not included in the sale.  Please note that some color tones in the pictures may be a light reflection from my camera, my clothing, or my bad photography. 

I accept PayPal only and I only ship to the USA.  All measurements are approximate.  All sales are final unless I make an extreme error in my ad.  If there is a problem with an item that you've purchased from me, please let me know as soon as possible.  I am an honest seller and will always work with you to try to make things right.  Shipping prices are not refundable.  Please make sure you carefully read the auction description and really want the item before you bid. This said; there are absolutely no returns on “LOT” items or anything stated "AS-IS".

I ask that you please make your payment within 2 days of auction end.  I reserve the right to relist my auction if payment is not made within 4 days of auction end.  Please note that eBay will automatically open an unpaid item case against all buyers that do not pay within those 4 days.  Notify me as soon as possible if you're bidding on some of my other items and wanting to discount shipping (which I will), or can't pay within that time frame.  I’ll always combine shipping to save you money whenever possible.  I try very hard to ship within 1 business day of receiving payment.

Thank you for looking.
