Vintage Route 66 Battery Bird Necklace (c.1930's)

The Vintage Route 66 Battery Bird Necklace is a rare 1930s Santo Domingo creation, echoing the early days of Southwest travel and tradition. Handcrafted with bone, green turquoise, and white shell, it features the iconic battery bird—an emblem of resilience and artistry—strung together during a time when Native artisans repurposed found materials along America’s Mother Road. A true relic of cultural ingenuity and historic charm.
