Vintage Sterling Silver & Turquoise Bolo Tie - White Hogan - Signed!

Description

This is an exceptional completely original bolo tie ensemble
(bolo slide, tips and leather).
It was created by Ivan Kee
(Navajo; 1936-1982)
when he was working along side of his brothers Allen and George at the White Hogan Silver Shop.  It is signed with his usual mark "IK."  The White Hogan hallmark is mostly obscured by the top handmade silver bracket...but it is there...guaranteed.  The word "HAND" is also paritally visible.  I suspect it was paired with the word "MADE" which is not visible.  The bolo slide is constructed in a shadowbox configuration featuring a beautiful turquoise cabochon.  The back of the slide houses 2 sterling silver handmade brackets.  The bolo slide measures 2 inches in length.  The original sterling tips measure 1.5 inches in length.  The braided black leather cord is original to the tips and slide.  This tie ensemble is exactly like the day it left the White Hogan shop...only aged and kindly worn!
Condition:
Nice heavy patina!  Turquoise is FLAWLESS!  Minor surface scratches on the silver components.  The sterling tips are in good used condition.  The black braided leather cord is intact but worn.  It will have to be handled carefully when using.
Please a close look at the many pictures I have posted, they give a good portrayal of the quality and condition of this fine old bolo tie.  As always, I start my bolo ties at !
