Hallmarked, and marked with the White Hogan mark (where Kee worked alongside his brothers and cousin Kenneth Begay during the 1950s). Inside size 5 1/2” with a 1” opening (can be adjusted, and wears smaller), width 2 3/4”, weight 87 grams. Allen Kee (Navajo, 1916-1972) was the cousin of Kenneth Begay and brother of George and Ivan. An extremely talented silversmith, nearly the equal of his more famous cousin. He worked on the White Hogan bench from 1948 to the early 1960s, and his work is often indistinguishable from that of Begay except for the hallmark.
