<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 9470826, member: 36&quot;]Yeppers - the good stuff is usually older and the old pieces were never marked.</p><p><br /></p><p>And now for the fingernails on chalkboard moment: Old pawn and dead pawn are NOT the same thing.&nbsp; Dead Pawn jewlery is vintage to antique native American jewelry pawned but never redeemed. It can only be called &quot;dead pawn&quot; if it comes wiht its ticket.&nbsp; The Reservations out west didn&#039;t have banks generally, and pawn shops served the purpose as well as being a safe place to &quot;store&quot; good jewelry over the Winter.&nbsp; The term &quot;Old Pawn&quot; is pure marketing hype, used because some marketroid wanted to sell old jewelery at a markup.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a NA expert by any stretch, but used to hang with a few.&nbsp; I have a bad feeling that the distinctions are going away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
