Need info on Native American silversmith, mid-late 20th c, Dan Dale.?
Native American-style jewelry maker of silver bead necklaces of sterling silver, turquoise, coral and bearclaws; possibly Navajo. Believed to created jewelry pieces between 1960′s and 1990′s.
the answer to your question is…….yes,…”navajo”…and, he sold stuff all over new mexico as well as colorado and arizona…….but not of his own accord,…alot of his stuff can be found in pawn shops, i found one in austin,tx for example but i collect that kinda stuff. the late 1950S and 1960S is a good time period…….bear claws are frowned upon by the interior dept., as far as marketing is concerned…….alot of navajo silversmiths did stuff with claws from various animals,…bird claws, cat claws, all kinds of claws as well as coyote claws….real bear claws are huge things….the late 1970S was the rise and fall of this artform as far as being original…….after that, silversmithing kinda appears similar……your better art galleries can help you find more on this topic and this artist….the four corners silversmiths who sell stuff at the foru corners maker can give you information too, just go ther and talk to them…….by the way, “dan” is a good common first and last name for a navajo……..look closer to amarillo, clovis and albequerque for more original pieces
