Bear Tooth Pendant
This is an actual bear's tooth pendant/necklace that was especially made for a man that was a friend of mine. It is over 50 years old. It is mounted in sterling silver and the powder horn bears my friend's initials, "EL" ~ They stand for Earl Lalone.
Earl passed 3 years ago at the age of 86. This was recently gifted to me by his widow. She also gave me two additional teeth that were from the same bear. Please note the Bowie knife in the setting. Earl's widow, Margaret, knows that I collect knives and felt that Earl would want me to have it. This is now one of my most cherished possessions. It is truly one of a kind!

Yep! I completely agree, Jan!
Margaret, Earl's widow, is now 90 years young. She lives a short distance from a bench in the center of town where I can be found sitting most afternoons. She walks everyday, weather permitting, with Marsha her 70 year old daughter. They often stop to chat with me on my bench. Between myself at nearly 68, Marsha just turned 70, and Margaret a very spry 90 - Margaret is without a doubt the sharpest tool in that shed!

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
