Vintage Maisel's Sterling Silver Canoe Charm, New Old Stock

A narrow sterling canoe, high at both ends, the hull cut in a long shallow curve. Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn.

One of the quieter shapes in the lot, and one of the harder ones to find. A classic little boat charm for a travel bracelet, Southwest collection, or to wear as a tiny pendant on your own chain.

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, a little piece of Route 66 and New Mexico trading post history you can wear or collect.

Wearing it
Add it to your favorite chain or charm bracelet, or give it to someone who collects these. It works as both a bracelet dangle and a minimalist pendant, especially on a fine chain. The card is half the reason they'll want it.

Any three pieces, 15% off. Mix charms and studs.
