MIB 1981 Stieff American Heritage Series Sterling Rooster Xmas Ornament Pendant
Mint In Box Rarely Offered Very Hard To Find! American Heritage Publishing Company commissioned Gorham Silversmiths in 1972 to create a line of sterling silver ornaments based on historical themes and items to be issued annually. Gorham made all the American Heritage ornaments up to 1981. That year, American Heritage chose Kirk Stieff as their silversmith, returning to Gorham in 1982, continuing through 1990. In 1991 and later years, the American Heritage ornaments were made by New England Sterling Inc.

Unlike earlier offerings, the 1981 Rooster is solid sterling silver, weighing in at a whopping 28 grams of pure silver. He is highly detailed on the front, and flat on the back.

This is in excellent condition with little evidence of having been used, however may have a minor manufacturing defect on the bottom edge. This is appropriately hallmarked and comes with original tarnish resistant pouch and box. Card shown in photo has become lost. The ornament is 3 inches tall and approximately 2 1/2 inches wide at the widest point.

A fantastic find for your Christmas ornament collection, or a fabulous gift for the collector on your gift list. Thank you for your interest!
