Frances Holmes Boothby modernist sterling silver abstract belt buckle. Fits up to a 1.25" belt. Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver with weight and measurements in pictures. Fully functional, with no issues. Circa third quarter of the 20th century. Frances Holmes Boothby (19192000) created unique modernist jewelry for nearly four decades, from the mid-1940s to the early 1980s. In addition to traditional modernist geometric and abstract designs, she made unique, whimsical pieces inspired by cartoons, including the Bird and Animal series. Working primarily in sterling silver, Frances sometimes used gold, brass, wood, resin, natural stones, pearls, and glass. She signed her pieces with the capital letters STERLING and the lowercase initials fhb. Undoubtedly, Frances Holmes Boothby made a significant contribution to the American wearable art movement through her exhibitions and teaching of jewelry making. For example, in 1948, she first presented her work at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. As early as 1955, she opened a studio in New York where she created her jewelry and taught jewelry making. According to 1958 newspaper ad, Frances Holmes Boothby exhibited her jewelry at New York State Fair. Later, Frances handcrafted jewelry in her Silver Workshop in Weston, Vermont, where she was active until the early 1980s. Frances Holmes Boothby died at the age of 80 in Sedona, Arizona. Made in limited quantities, today the artists works can be found both in the collections of lovers of modernist and vintage jewelry, and in national art galleries.

Harry Charters 14k/10k/sterling ‘61 Perry Luster Award Hayward Rodeo belt buckle, takes up to a 1.25" belt, Tested and guaranteed solid sterling silver, functional with expected wear. Circa last quarter of the 20th century with no damage, fully functional. Big buckle, takes up to a 1.75" belt. This is an important buckle won by a historically important cowboy. There is a ton of gold on this buckle. All of the raised areas are solid 14k and 10k gold. It would not take much at todays prices for there to be 1k in gold on this buckle, I honestly think there is more than 1k worth of gold on this buckle, and it‘s historically significant. Harry Charters at the Hayward CA rodeo, later known as Rowell Ranch Pro Rodeo. Attached are two digital images I found of Harry Charters online, I don‘t have physical copies of these images, nor are they included in the listing. Just showing the Famous Cowboy who won/owned this buckle. Harry Charters Steer Wrestling Inducted 2015 Although Harry Charters didnt buy his RCA permit until 1958, at the relatively advanced age of 33, he managed to compete at an elite level for a decade. He won his only world championship as a rookie steer wrestler in 1959, and went on to put nine NFR qualifications on his career résumé six in bulldogging and three in tie-down roping. He barely missed a second world steer wrestling title in 1962, when he finished second by $773 to fellow Class of 2015 ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee Tom Nesmith. “If he would have started (with the RCA) as a young guy, 11-time World Champion Dean Oliver said, “He probably would have won more than anyone in the history of bulldogging. At 6-6, 250 pounds, Charters was perhaps the biggest world champion in rodeo history and yet was described by his peers as “dazzling fast and fleet of foot. Charters was also well-known for his innovative approach to timed-event technique. He is said to be the first calf roper to dismount from the right side of his horse and his bulldogging style was uniquely his own, giving the appearance that he was picking up the steer, spinning it around and flinging it to the ground. His Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up steer wrestling record of 5.0 seconds stood for 11 years.

Crowned the “Rodeo King of the West for his contributions to the sport, Rowell part of the ProRodeo Hall of Fames inaugural class of 1979 was a stock producer for 25 rodeos throughout the West, including the Grand National Rodeo in San Francisco. But it was his own home rodeo that held a special place in his heart. Upon Rowells death in 1969, his wife, Maggie, kept the rodeo going with help from Art Palmer and Cecil Jones, and she had it written into her will that the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District could purchase the rodeo site as long as city officials promised that the grounds would be made available for free each year to continue the Rowell Ranch Rodeo and a junior rodeo. In 1977, a local non-profit organization was formed in compliance with Maggies wishes to assure the continuation of the rodeo as a traditional historical community event, a fundraiser for local charities and a lasting tribute to her British-born husbands love of the West. The rodeo begins each year with a lone rider galloping down “Harrys Hill, carrying the American flag into the arena.

His work has been described as being ‘Contemporary in Traditional Native Design. He has an Associate of Fine Arts Degree from the Institute of American Indian Arts and a BA from the California College of Art and Design. Ken is known for his beautiful and intricately inlaid jewelry creations using semiprecious gemstones and cutting-edge designs. When he sits down to make a piece, the exact pattern of the inlay comes as he places one stone at a time and the piece takes on a life of its own. Through his work, he wants to convey the beauty and resilience of his pueblo ancestry. Many of the pieces in his inlay process take on the texture, feel, and look of a village, particularly multi-storied Taos Pueblo. Each piece is made entirely by Ken from start to finish. “I design my pieces with inlay to look and feel like a village or pueblo building. I call this my pueblo village design inlay. All of the jewelry is completed with Kens hallmark. Ken is known for his beautifully wearable works of art. Romero has received numerous honors, including awards at Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market, Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market, and SWAIAs Santa Fe Indian Market. He resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
