Tom Kee
Overview
Tom Kee is a Navajo silversmith whose documented work runs to storyteller bracelets and carved novelties. He shares his stamp with his wife, Sue Kee, who is documented in her own entry with the same shared-stamp arrangement.
Collector's caution: Tom Kee and Sue Kee share one stamp — a piece carrying it cannot be attributed to husband or wife on the stamp alone.
