Vintage Maisel's Sterling Silver Colorado Map Charm, New Old Stock

Sterling, cut to the shape of Colorado. A rectangle, which is the joke, and it works. This is a single sterling silver state map charm with a Colorado design, sold as a vintage new old stock souvenir from Maisel's Trading Post and intended for charm bracelet or small pendant use.

Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn. The card is marked sterling silver, and the charm is a solid sterling Colorado state/map piece rather than a silver-tone souvenir. It comes on its original card as described, which makes it especially gift-ready for a Colorado native, traveler, or vintage jewelry collector.

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 deadstock souvenir from the classic Route 66-era Southwest.

Wearing it
Pairs with the skier charm. 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 beautifully on a travel-themed bracelet, especially if you're collecting different states you've visited, and this listing is for Colorado only.

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