A Rare Find: Vintage UITA 22 Navajo Silver Brooch (c. 1940s)
This is an exceptional, large-scale Navajo figural brooch authenticated by the prestigious United Indian Traders Association (UITA). Stamped with the desirable UITA 22 hallmark, this piece was made for the Dean Kirk Trading Post in Manuelito, New Mexico, circa the 1940s.
This is a museum-quality item that is a must-have for collectors of authentic mid-century Native American silverwork and Old Pawn jewelry.
Key Features & Collectibility
Design: Highly unique and sculptural, featuring a stylized Scorpion (or composite crustacean/arthropod) motif. The figurative design, with its detailed segmentation and large claws, is far more collectible than common tourist-era pieces.
Size: Over 4 inches in length, this pin is considered large and makes a magnificent statement piece, confirming its substantial silver weight and master craftsmanship.
Weight: 18 grams
Hallmark: Stamped UITA 22 (for Dean Kirk Trading Post), which guarantees the item is genuine, handmade by an enrolled tribal member, and meets the quality standards set by the UITA in 1931.
Era: Vintage 1940s (Fred Harvey Era / WWII Era Silver).
Craftsmanship: Hand-stamped detail along the body segments and claws, with a beautiful natural patina.
