Julius Burbank – Native American Silversmith Hallmark Guide

About Julius Burbank

Julius Burbank is a Native American silversmith recognized by one of two related hallmark variations, reflecting a fairly common pattern among artists who used both a full cursive signature and a shortened initial-based stamp depending on the piece.

Identifying Julius Burbank's Work

His hallmark appears either as a cursive Julius Burbank or as JB Sterling USA. When authenticating a piece, check for either version, since some artists reserved their full cursive signature for larger, more prominent pieces while using the shorter initialed stamp on smaller items where space was limited.
