Description: For sale is this absolutely stunning Vintage Native American Zuni Sterling Silver Key Ring. This beautiful handmade Key Ring represents a Thunderbird and has an inlay of Turquoise, Red Coral, Mother of Pearl, and Black Onyx. Outlined in custom Sterling Silver Metal works. The back has the mark of Bennett Pat. Pend. C-31. I couldn't find the makers/artists mark on the item.Bennett Pat. Pending C-31 stamp dates this item to mid 1950s to the mid 1960s (late 60's items began being stamped with only Bennett Pat. Pending (no C-31)). The Native American Thunderbird symbolizes power, protection, and strength. It is seen as one of the most power spirits of Native American culture. This item belonged to my late parents, who loved native american culture. They owned a business from the 80s through early 2000s and sold many things including authentic native american products. This item (I believe) was from their personal collection (due to the age of the item). The key chain is in perfect working condition and has been shined with silver cleaner. It is in great condition, certainly doesn't look 60-70 years old. The stones are in perfect condition. There is a little bit of age (tarnish) to the item, a few small scratches on the back. Please feel free to ask any questions or if you would like additional photos. Thanks for looking.Estate Blanchard
