The company was launched in 1923 by Maurice Maisel in Albuquerque, NM. Maisel’s was producing silver by the late 1920s and, having added labor-saving dies and drop press machinery in the production line, grew quickly in size to employ several hundred Native Americans creating jewelry and other crafts for sale to tourists on Rt. 66. Perhaps the first Maisel’s that included machine-made silver for sale was the one published in the late 1920s. The company likely made jewelry retailed by Silver Arrow and Silver Products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the years, at least three stores operated in various Albuquerque locations. The operation closed in the 1960s upon the death of Maurice Maisel, but reopened in the 1980s as Skip Maisel’s, named after Maisel’s grandson, Skip. Maisel’s began marking its silver production with a stamp after WWII. The company closed in 2019. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMark\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMAISEL'S ALBUQUERQUE (encircling STERLING); a kachina image bearing a © symbol, and STERLING (on small items); MAISEL'S STERLING (ina an oval, enclosing two arrowheads); kachina log and MAISEL’S Indian Trading Post Albuquerque New Mexico; MAISEL’S STERLING. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(info taken from Billie Hougart’s Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks, 4th Edition)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehallmarks: MAISELS STERLING\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaffiliation: Fred Harvey Railroad Era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ematerials: sterling silver, turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emeasurements: 5\" inside, 1\" gap, 3\/4\" across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eweight: 13 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enice vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estone is secure in its setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enatural inclusions to stones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eabrasions and surface wear commensurate with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esilver has a nice patina with oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eslightly out of round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewear from use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estyle: JB4381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003estock\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereturns are subject to exchange or store credit only.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Double D Ranch","offers":[{"title":"Turquoise \/ N\/S","offer_id":43191786602558,"sku":"JB4381TurquoiseN\/S","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1289\/0349\/files\/047_189.jpg?v=1790280431","url":"https:\/\/doubledranch.com\/products\/cuff-fred-harvey-railroad-era-turquoise-arrowhead-graphic-maisels-trading-post-vintage-40s-4381","provider":"Double D Ranch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
