<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 436449, member: 2844&quot;]Old Pawn is the old, heavy jewellery Native Americans wore themselves. It has enough silver and stones to be used as pawn in the (mostly Navajo) currency system. It was used for barter, later as an investment.</p><p>They still often can&#039;t get loans, and have to have valuable items to pawn if they need something like a car.</p><p>A lot of &#039;dead&#039; pawn was never sold by the traders it was pawned to. It was often held until the original owner could redeem it, which could be years later, long after the pawn period had lapsed.</p><p><br /></p><p>These cuffs are charming, but they were made for the tourist trade.</p><p>The coin silver cuff could be Fred Harvey Era, which is ca 1900-1930 or 1955, depending on your point of view. It is also called railroad jewellery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
