Texas US Representative Brady Preston Gentry (1896-1966) Owned Carved wood and<br>Sterling silver star gavel. I acquired this from a direct descendant of Brady<br>Preston Gentry, it belonged to him. It's the nicest gavel I've ever seen. The<br>carving is amazing, sterling silver stars in gavel and plate, the bag appears to<br>be moleskin, it has carved wood pieces on each side one shaped like Nevada, one<br>Texas, there's even a separate pouch inside the bag for the block. The gavel is<br>8 7/8" long, block 3 1/8" long. My guess is this would have been a gift to him<br>upon his appointment as County Judge in 1930, but it could be from when he was<br>elected to congress in 1952. It looked to have 90 years of tarnish on the silver<br>when it came into my posession, I hand polished it to not remove any patina.<br><br>GENTRY, BRADY PRESTON (1895–1966).Brady Preston Gentry, legislator and lawyer,<br>was born on a farm near Colfax, Texas, on March 25, 1895, the son of Benjamin<br>Whitfield and Virginia Caroline (McPhail) Gentry. He attended Cumberland<br>University and Tyler Commercial College. He was admitted to the bar at the age<br>of twenty-one. During World War I he served as an infantryman in France and rose<br>to captain. He entered public service as a clerk in the office of the Van Zandt<br>County tax collector. After moving to Tyler he served as assistant city tax<br>collector. He was elected county attorney, and in 1930 he became county judge of<br>Smith County, an office he held for four successive terms. During this period he<br>was instrumental in developing the county's road system. In 1939 he was<br>appointed chairman of the Texas Highway Commission by Governor W. Lee O'Daniel.<br>He was the first man to serve as chairman of the commission for a full six-year<br>term.<br><br>During Gentry's tenure on the highway commission, first steps were taken in the<br>development of the state's extensive farm-road program. His work attracted<br>national attention. In 1943 he was elected president of the American Association<br>of State Highway Officials. He also served as a director of the Texas Good Roads<br>Association. When his highway commission term ended in 1945, Gentry turned his<br>full-time efforts to his Tyler law practice. In 1952 he was elected to the first<br>of two terms in the United States Congress from the Third Texas District. As a<br>member of the House committee on highways and roads, he was instrumental in<br>shaping the legislation that launched the development of the national system of<br>interstate and defense highways. In 1957 after his retirement from Congress, he<br>was tendered another appointment as chairman of the Texas Highway Commission. He<br>declined the appointment, however, because of business and personal commitments.<br><br>Throughout his life Gentry was a staunch supporter of Southern Methodist<br>University; he also was a benefactor of Tyler Junior College. Shortly after<br>World War II, he helped form the Tyler Junior College District, and the old<br>college gymnasium was named Gentry Gym in his honor. He died in Houston on<br>November 9, 1966, after a lengthy illness.<br>isshelf

The best 40‘s-50‘s Zuni "Indian Chief" Silver channel inlay pendant/pin. Weight and measurements in pics. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.

In the early 1930s, he began experimenting with sepia-tones and desert painting and developed a sophisticated range of colors, which were particularly expressive of the desert country. After the War, he settled in Taos, New Mexico, and Bert Phillips, founder of the Taos Art Colony, became one of his best friends. His paintings are in the Gilcrease Institute of American History, the University of Arizona Art Museum, and many private collections.

Tommy Jackson Navajo Sterling turquoise bolo tie. Nice large bolo from a well<br>respected artist. Tommy's bolo's tend to retail 2-4k each new. Bolo measures<br>2.5" x 1 5/8" tips are thick and heavy Cord is thick and very well made with no<br>issues. 46" long with a total weight of 108.1 grams.<br><br>Tommy Jackson was born in Phoenix, Arizona on January20, 1958 but grew up in the<br>heart of Navajo land in Chinle, Arizona. He went to high school in Chinle, the<br>town at the mouth of the legendary Canyon de Chelly—a stronghold for 19th<br>century Navajo, known then as the “Lords of the Land”. Steeped in mythology,<br>this landscape echoes the strength and beauty in the Navajo bedrock of<br>beliefs—foremost of those is responsibility to family and clan. A husband,<br>father, and grandfather, Tommy is also a world-renowned gold and silversmith,<br>his award-winning pieces on exhibit in museums and treasured in collections<br>around the world. As a premier Navajo Silversmith he counted amongst those few<br>known as “The Supersmiths.”<br><br>Jackson started silversmithing in 1973, learning at the bench of his parents,<br>renowned silversmiths Gene and Martha Jackson. (He is also the nephew of Dan<br>Jackson, another well-known silversmith.) However, it was his mother who urged<br>him to pursue a degree, and he followed her footsteps into education, eventually<br>teaching elementary school at Wide Ruins on the Reservation. But jewelry-making<br>called to him in his spare time, in the after-hours, in the late night, and by<br>1988 he was winning prestigious awards, and has continued winning nearly every<br>year since at the big shows, including Santa Fe Indian Market and the Heard. He<br>was also chosen as Navajo Tribal representative for the Salt Lake City Winter<br>Olympics.<br><br>A striking example of Tommy’s pieces is the motif of Navajo rug designs. He<br>sometimes works these patterns directly into the gold or silver; or he inlays<br>stones in visually stunning creations that reflect the complexity of Navajo<br>tapestries. Other pieces are a declaration of his passion for high-grade<br>American turquoise. These pieces are all about the great stone. He will use<br>heavy-gauge silver, and in keeping with the old style tradition then chisel or<br>hand-stamp, all with an eye of showcasing a great old American turquoise stone<br>such as Bisbee, Morenci, Lander Blue or Candelaria. He is known for integrating<br>traditional Navajo designs with a modern flair, working with gold and silver and<br>a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.<br><br>He has won numerous awards for his beautiful and unique jewelry from the Heard<br>Museum Show in Phoenix, Santa Fe Indian Market and The Museum of Northern<br>Arizona, to name a few including First at Indian Market, as recently as 2014. He<br>and his wife, Marie, who does much of the stone-cutting for his pieces, have<br>pieces featured in national publications.

TOMMY SINGER Navajo (1940 – 2014) Large sterling bolo tie with turquoise, 43" long with slight bends to dangles on tips, no other issues. 121.3 grams. TOMMY SINGER (Navajo b. 1940 – 2014)Tommy grew up in a small community of Dilcon on the Navajo reservation. Tommy Singer was a Navajo silversmith who specialized in chip-inlay jewelry. His inlaid turquoise, coral, and silver pieces incorporated traditional Navajo designs. Singer gained acclaim as the originator of the chip inlay design. Because of this innovation, Tommy is considered by many as one of the greatest contemporary Indian jewelry silversmiths of our time. Even though he was world renowned, he worked on the Navajo reservation in a small studio surrounded with his family and other tribal members.The Singer family has been involved in silversmithing, stone and beadwork for a very long time, handing the art down from one generation to another. Tommy was a silversmith for over 50 years. He learned the art of silversmithing from his father when he was just 7 years old. His Father Tsinnigine Hathali was a Navajo Medicine man. Tommy incorporates many traditional sandpainting and rug designs of the Navajo People into his jewelry. Tommy began creating jewelry full-time at the age of 21. His early works were done in the silver overlay technique. His work soon began to feature Turquoise stones. While working with scrap turquoise chips, Tommy pioneered the technique of Chip inlay used by thousands of artists to this day. For many years Tommy and his brothers created Jewelry using the Chip inlay style. Later in life, Tommy had returned to his roots by creating Exquisite Silver Overlaid Jewelry with intricate designs. His current work often includes 14 Karat Gold Overlaid on Silver. Tommy also carved storyteller scenes and silver bead necklaces with tremendous skill.When asked about his work, Singer said, "Every piece is made with the various meanings from my traditional ways - the Navajo way of living. My father was asilversmith, too. He taught me, and wanted me to continue this trade. It was my father's dream that I learn to silversmith so that I could continue his beliefs."His work is well known internationally and is featured in a number of Indian art publications. One can easily recognize Tommy’s work. He marks his finished pieces with “T. Singer” or with “T and a crescent moon”. Whether Tommy created a bolo tie, buckle, ring, necklace, pendant, or bracelet, he stated that, “All my jewelry is made to satisfy my customer. Each piece is unique and is made very different. I try hard to make different styles and designs of my jewelry.”His legacy of work will continue to live on for many years. In fact, Rosita (Rose) and the family have continued Tommy’s legacy by creating jewelry with his designs. Tommy and his wife Rose came up with a new hallmark before his death which is “T&R Singer”. Once all of the items he made are sold, the family will be signing the new jewelry with the T&R Singer hallmark. His legacy of work will continue to live on for many years. All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.

Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson (1908-1980) and other carved wood figures. Tallest 6 7/8", it's the TL figure, the other two I believe are European but not totally sure of carver or even the Country they were made. All approximately the same era. One appears to be signed LL on the base. Selling all three with no issuesTL 1908 - 1980 Torborg Lindberg-Carlsson from Storbäck in Dorotea, Västerbotten. Torborg was born in Högland and then moved at the age of 4 to Röttanberg in Vilhelmina. Torborg found his home in Storbäck. Her creations mainly resulted in the production of smaller statuettes connected to Sami culture. The attention she attracted also led to church decorations in, among others, Ormsjö, Högland's chapel and Risbäck church. At first she carved in aspen, but after a while she switched to Al, which was the material she mainly used, she bought the wood home and let it dry, she had wood for several years lying around to dry.  She usually had a number of figures that were in production where she switched between the figures, on the tray where the figures were usually on the kitchen table where the production took place. Then the figures were painted with watercolor paint in the Southern Sami colors. On average, she carved 2-3 old men per day, which were sold to various customers, but the sales were interrupted until Hemslöjden, where she then received honorary degrees for her work.

I believe this was a salesman's sample.In the 1960s, Norm Vogt traveled to Old Mexico. A traveler and visionary, he had called Northern California home since leaving his birthplace of Oklahoma on a freight train at 18 years of age. Norm served in World War II, piloting an amphibious plane for the Navy, and came home to start a ranch in the Golden State. But while in Mexico, he encountered a group of artisans practicing leatherwork and silversmithing in the Old World style. This sparked a partnership that lives on today in the enduring art and craftsmanship of Vogt Silversmiths.anderas
