1940's Navajo Made Silver Pin with Navajo Guild Hallmark (see photos of back)
Marked Navajo Arts & Craft Guild. The NACG was formed in 1941 under the auspices of the U.S. Government’s Indian Arts and Crafts Board and the Navajo Tribal authority to help young Navajo silversmiths learn from the masters and thus to maintain the quality of classic Navajo silver work into succeeding generations. The Guild's standards were exacting and their instructors were among the most accomplished Navajo jewelers of the era, including the Guild’s first Director, the brilliant Navajo silversmith and jewelry teacher, Ambrose Roanhorse supported by Chester Yellowhair and Fred Peshlakai.
Individual makers were not allowed to sign Navajo Guild pieces, they could only be marked with the official “Horned Sun” hallmark of the NACG and, often, the word "NAVAJO".
