Bracelet as worn by model, Michael Marchant.We found Earl Plummer listed in our reference books but did not find a listing for Wayton Plummer.  Perhaps Wayton is a relative of Earls and lives in the vicinity of Thoreau, New Mexico.  From the workmanship on this bracelet, I would not assume that Wayton is a beginning silversmith as it is well beyond what a beginner could accomplish.

 

The bracelet is sterling silver almost an inch wide and stamped with simple arches.  The arches near the ends of the bracelet are stamped with lines and zigzags.  Those at the center and the far ends of the bracelet are stamped with simple lines.  The bracelet is stamped STERLING and WAYTON PLUMMER.

 

Condition: very good condition with scratches from use

Provenance: from a family collection from Santa Fe
