I\'m offering a rare and gorgeous pin made by Lee Edaakie in the 1940\'s-1950\'s. It\'s a huge pin made in the same design as a small ring in Mr. Sei\'s book \"Knifewing and Rainbow Man in Zuni Jewelry\" and that\'s a really special ring, a very rare example. Lee Edaakie was one of the CG Wallace silversmiths whom Wallace collected and is well represented in the C.G. Wallace catalog for the Sotheby\'s sale. Lee Edaakie was one of the greats and he did his own silverwork, which I mention because the silver work on this pin is elaborate and rare and beautiful. The colors are also superb. This is a fabulous pin, absolutely museum quality and top notch in every way. This fabulous pin is in excellent vintage, wearable and collectible condition. There\'s a small bale attached at the top which might have been used to string a chain through the pin mechanism and that bale so the pin can be worn as a pendant.
This knifewing figure is 3-1/8\" H x 1-5/8\" W. It weighs a substantial 26.1grams The pin mechanism is in fine shape. It\'s unsigned and not marked for silver content as is usual for the time in which it was made, but it\'s at least coin (.900) and probably sterling (.925) silver.
Top quality collector\'s item suitable for any collection, this pin is a great work of art. The quality of the mosaic inlay is detailed and top notch with hand cut and buffed stones and enchanting coloration. It\'s gorgeous and pieces by this artist are always wonderful and rare. Zuni artistry doesn\'t get any better than this. It\'s phenomenal.

I generally ship same day. First item shipping in the US costs $5.99 Priority or $3.99 First Class or $25 Overnight. You may add an additional item for three days at no additional shipping charge. Three or more items are free shipping entirely if purchased in one shopping cart basket. Tracking is included in that cost, and Signature Confirmation is included on items $825 or more, total.

International buyers pay actual shipping cost and are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. I generally use Express International, which is tracked and insured, but can always consider Priority Mail International if that is your preference. It\'s less expensive and is tracked, but usually cannot be insured. To the UK and Canada, even First Class International can be used because it can be tracked to those countries. We can discuss it prior to purchase. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China. You can talk to me about this, especially if you are a prior customer.

When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.
Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
I am sorry to say I can no longer recommend ATADA nor buying from their members with perhaps one exception, and retract my previous endorsement of the group.
I request payment by PayPal in three days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can be arranged.
Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you\'re starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift. My goal is that all my buyers are delighted, that my special pieces find the right homes.
