He identified the maker as Fred Peschlakai. He noted that while "peschlakai" means silversmith, Fred was "the first Navajo silversmith to do silver as a profess" and in the 1930's "was considered to be the finest silversmith on the reservation." I am seeking more information on the bracelet and am glad to share the letter with Susi Fricks Phelps or others. The bracelet it very handsome silver and tourquise with the the initials "F.P."

I also have a Navajo Rug from that store also. I would be happy to send you copies of these photos. Maybe my Great Uncle Lisle had the store before the Frick's??? Not sure. Please send me an address and I will send those photos. Thanks Daleen Keys Scott-Baer Reno NV My grandfather’s brother William Lisle Keys owned the Keys Indian Store and I have a photo of the store.

I've been living in Wickenburg for 11 years now and it's changed a lot in just that time. I bet you wouldn't recognize it. If you have any old photos of the town you'd like to share, please send them! I can scan them and send them right back. I'm trying to build our Then and Now section. Use the Contact link at the top of the page to get in touch and I'll send you a mailing address. (This offer is good to anyone who has old photos of the town.)
