A sterling yucca in bloom, stalk rising out of a base of sword leaves, every blossom cast separately. Still on the original Maisel's card, never worn.
The yucca is New Mexico's state flower and the plant you see more than any other on the drive into Albuquerque. Selling it on Central Avenue was not a stretch.
- Sterling silver, marked on the original Maisel's card
- Approx. 7/8" tall x 5/8" wide, 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.
