A small sterling roadrunner with the feathers cut in texture rather than smoothed. A completely different mold from the two larger birds. Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn.
Three roadrunners, three molds, one trading post. This is the only small one, and once it's gone the trio can't be built again.

- Approx. 5/8" wide x 1/2" tall, not including the jump ring
- New old stock, still attached to its original Maisel's card

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.
One available. When it's gone I have no way to get another.
