This is a Hudson Bay Fur Trade Co. style or type silver trade cross with black glass inlays. Other Hudson Bay Trade crosses of this style are from circa 1765-1825. The piece is hallmarked, "HB", "WS, "MONTREAL", and "WS". The piece shows an early 19th century peace medal style presentation fabric collar. The cross appears to be solid silver with a much heavier construction than other trade crosses available. The trade cross is displayed in a black glass top case that measures 14.25"x20.25". Cross is 6.5"x4.5" (with top ring). Presentation collar and cross measure as they lay 19"H x 10.75"W. Cross is missing one inlay.
