Jock Favour
Hallmark documented in: Hougart. Rendered from the documented mark, not a photograph.
Overview
Jock Favour (born 1947) is an Anglo silversmith — a non-Native maker of Southwestern-style work — active since about the 1970s. Hougart documents classic hand-wrought ingot work, stamp- and file-work, set stones, inlay, and some mosaic work. He is the brother of Charlie Favour.
The entry records that Favour's first mark, in use for more than forty years, is a variation of the Egyptian Eye of Horus. Another passage appears to tie an "LL" to collaborator and bead worker Lee Louden (not yet in the directory).
Collector's caution: The marks are FAVOUR and J F — the latter in very small letters, an initials stamp. Treat the finer qualifiers (the Eye of Horus reading, the LL element) as hedged.
