Navajo Indian Jewelry - C3838EThis sterling silver and turquoise letter opener has the stamp of The Maisel Company of Albuquerque.  The Maisel Company had on-site Navajo and Pueblo jewelers working in the basement level of the store in Albuquerque.  They could be viewed while working because there was a large oval cut out in the floor, through which clients could look down and see the artisans working.
