Description

From the Gerald B. Evans / CG Wallace Collection - Gerald Evans was a successful California business man who loved Native American jewelry. In the 1950's he would load up his Buick with Abalone shells and set of to the Zuni Pueblo. He would meet up with CG Wallace (swap, trade and spend some time in Zuni) and head back to San Luis Obispo with his new found treasures.
