Joseph Martinez

Possible attribution

The hallmark "M" is a possible attribution to Joseph Martinez, not a confirmed one; the nation recorded is Navajo (Diné).

This attribution is uncertain. The link between this mark and Joseph Martinez is recorded in hedged or unconfirmed terms, so treat it as a lead, not a conclusion.

This mark is shared. “M” is also recorded for Martha Livingston, Mary Morgan, Melissa Yazzie, Mike Simplicio, Morgan Pete and Morris Begay, so the mark alone cannot tell these makers apart.
