 Gilbert (1936-2003) opened shops in NM in the 1960's and expanded into AZ in the 1980's. He is referenced in Hougart's "Native American and Southwestern Silver Hallmarks" and Schaaf's "American Indian Jewelry Vol III" and so many more, we can't list them all.

To order your correct size: you must measure the circumference of your wrist. You can use a cloth tape measure, a ¼” a strip of paper, or a cord to wrap around your wrist and mark it. Lay it out flat and measure the length against a ruler, that’s your exact circumference and the size you should order.
