Mary Lincoln is a Navajo silversmith listed in the Hougart hallmark index.
The mark
Per Hougart 5e: Mark: M (stylized) — a stylized single-letter M stamp.
No active period, style description, or biographical information accompanies the Hougart listing. The entry appears in a cluster of Lincoln-surname Navajo silversmiths including Emma Lincoln, Francis Thomas Lincoln, Herman H. Lincoln, and Randolph Lincoln. Note: "Mary Marie Yazzie Lincoln" is a cross-reference in the same Hougart section pointing to Mary Marie Yazzie — that is a separate artist identity; Mary Lincoln is listed as a distinct entry.
