Wilford Quandelacy
Name-card placeholder — hallmark imagery to follow.
Overview
Wilford Quandelacy is a Zuni artist documented for Shriner designs. His marks are shared with Lena Quandelacy — her entry records the same arrangement, and both marks below should be read as the pair's.
Collector's caution: Both documented marks — W & L Q and the etched L & W Quandelacy signature — are shared stamps held with Lena Quandelacy. Neither supports a single-maker attribution on its own; the tail of the etched mark is also garbled in our scan ("Quand I"), so verify the full form against a printed copy before leaning on it.
