Benjamin Brown
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.
Overview
Benjamin Brown is a Navajo silversmith documented in the Hougart hallmark corpus. Hougart's entry is a short one — it records his family line and his mark, and nothing more. We publish it because the mark is real and collectors will meet it.
He was the brother of Tsos Brown and Gilbert Brown, both smiths documented in their own right.
