A sterling silver buffalo, head down and shoulders up, caught mid-charge with the mane cast shaggy. Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn.
Every trading post on Route 66 sold a buffalo. This is the one Maisel's sold, and whoever cut the mold gave him weight. You can feel the hump.

- New old stock, still attached to its original Maisel's card
- Three available
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.
