We are offering a William Spratling bracelet properly hallmarked on page 33 in Spratling Silver : A Field Guide by Phyllis M. Goddard. This is called a snap over due to the hidden clasp snaps over the closure bar. The design is shown with the center row being brass on page 56 of Phyllis Goddard's book. This example has 3 rows of all silver oval beads. The repousse is very thick and heavy a weight of 72 grams and with the bracelet being 1 inch tall. No dents but lots of glare and specks of patina. A beauty of a piece and hard to find. Exhibits a rich luster of almost white to the silver and a strong presence. Collector quality.
