Michael Spencer
The hallmark "M. SPENCER" is a possible attribution to Michael Spencer, not a confirmed one; the nation recorded is Navajo (Diné).
This attribution is uncertain. The link between this mark and Michael Spencer is recorded in hedged or unconfirmed terms, so treat it as a lead, not a conclusion.
This mark is not unique to one maker. Our research records this mark, or part of it, as used by other makers too, or as too common to identify one maker on its own. Compare the whole mark, including any symbol, before relying on it.
This mark is shared. “M. SPENCER” is also recorded for Mary Ann Spencer, so the mark alone cannot tell these makers apart.
