Description
Collectible, Vintage Roger Skeet Jr. Navajo Sterling Stamped Concho Belt / Total weight: 743g / Approximate silver weight – buckle and 8 conchos: 603g / Overall belt length (including buckle): 44″ / Approximate wearable size (measured from the buckle fold to the center of the first and last punched holes): 34.75″ – 38.75″ / Buckle fits up to a 1″ wide belt / Current belt width: 1″ / Buckle dimensions: 3.75″ x 3″ / Concho dimensions: 3.75″ x 3″ / Roger Skeet Jr. apprenticed under his father, renowned Navajo silversmith Roger Skeet Sr., beginning at age eight. The belt bears his earlier full-name hallmark, “ROGER SKEET JR,” documented from the mid-1950s. According to Mark Bahti (2007), this stamp eventually broke, prompting the artist to resume using his initials “R.S.” and “RS.” Per consignor provenance, the belt was purchased from a private collector in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the mid-1960s by her late brother and subsequently passed to her through inheritance. The leather strap is believed to be original.
