This ring I have been trying for a few days now to see if I could find out who made it. It looks like the box has a teepee inside it and a stand with an arrow or something.
I am wacking my brain trying to see who made this. This morning I was 50 and tonight I'm 99 feeling, no energy to search anymore.
This particular maker's mark may not be listed online. Beautiful ring!
Thanks, why you say that ?
Bell Trading Post, very cool rucklezglass. Thank You
Yay, rucklcz comes through again!
Yup, smart human for sure.
If you’re still searching, look up the hallmark for Art Lewis, “Neeta Lussa” or Black Bear. He was my cousin, and one of the last Choctaw silversmiths. His hallmark was a tipi and an arrow. Looking at your ring really closely, it sort of looks like a tipi inside a box with an arrow above it. There also appears to be a character of some sort running vertical like an N...? So it’s probably not his, but I thought I would throw that out there.

That's a "Bell Trading Post" hallmark.
