Description

This is fun old Fedora Hat Buckle was made in the noted White Hogan shop. It is Hallmarked with their stamp. It was signed, but that artists signature or stamp is long gone. I collected this with an almost identical buckle with the stamp of George Kee, so I feel pretty safe in my belief that he made this one too...It would be a \"big jump\" to hope that Kenneth Begay made it. But, it is quite possible that it was made by Kenneth\'s cousin and George\'s brother Allen Kee, as they all worked in the White Hogan shop together. It is also stamped\"Sterling\", and it is guaranteed to be Sterling Silver. There isthe ability to use a belt of up to .9\" with this buckle. This has a high relief Sterling Silver Fedora that is placed in a perimeter \"Shadowbox\". It is in Good vintage condition and has lots of tarnish.

Consider this an opportunity to fun White Hogan Sterling SilverBuckle at a reasonable price.

As the Navajo say, \"Walk in beauty!\"
