Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 02-01-2006 03:08 PM Sounds like the work of Ronald Hayes Pearson, an esteemed midcentury smith. Can you post a picture? His style is very recognizable. IP: Logged

FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 02-02-2006 06:23 PM That is a Ronald Hayes Pearson pin. Scott Braznell wrote the definative biography of this artist in one of the Winterthur periodicals. Ron's early passing was a great tragedy. He had a great influence on many of us. Fred [This message has been edited by FredZ (edited 02-03-2006).] IP: Logged

Brent Posts: 1507 Registered: May 99	posted 02-03-2006 09:30 AM There is another thread entitled SILVERSMITH PEARSON" about some salt cellars by Pearson in the 20th C forum, and an internet search will net even more information. I am still kicking myself for passing up a Pearson necklace that a general-line dealer tried to sell me some years ago. I should have recognized the name, but my brain was in neutral and I passed it up. By the time I realized my error and went back for it,it had been sold. Doh! Brent IP: Logged
