Chief Sunny Skies (Clyde Hunt) Jewelry - C3785FAfter a casual look at this bracelet, most knowledgeable collectors and dealers would identify it as having been made by a Navajo, as it is typically like the work of members of that tribe.  This one, however, is clearly marked that it was made by Chief Sunny Skies of Acoma Pueblo.  This one does not have a date stamped with the signature but the other two items we have had from this same collection that were signed by Chief Sunny Skies were dated 1938 and 1939, so it is presumed that this bracelet would probably have been made at that time.
