Only 1 left, on the original card
A sterling bronco mid-buck with the rider still on him, one arm up. Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn. A classic western rodeo horse-and-rider charm in sterling silver, made for a Southwest or Route 66-themed charm bracelet or to wear as a small pendant on a chain.
Sold to people who had just watched one. Rodeo was the entertainment, and the charm was the receipt. It's a vintage-style cowboy jewelry piece for anyone who loves horses, rodeos, or New Mexico trading-post souvenirs.
The story
Maisel's Indian Trading Post opened on Route 66 in downtown Albuquerque in 1939. Maurice Maisel hired John Gaw Meem, the architect who defined Pueblo Revival, and told him he was "not content with the usual Indian thing." Olive Rush designed the murals across the facade, painted by young artists including Pablita Velarde, Ben Quintana, Harrison Begay, and Pop Chalee. By the 1940s Maisel's was the largest trading post on Route 66. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. This charm came off that counter and never left its card. It's a little piece of Route 66 and New Mexico trading-post history you can add to your jewelry.
Wearing it
Add it to your favorite chain or charm bracelet, or give it to someone who collects these. The card is half the reason they'll want it. It works well on most standard charm bracelets and small chains, so it's an easy gift for someone who loves western or cowboy jewelry, horses, or rodeo themes.
