Mark Chee was an active Navajo silversmith from 1930 through the 60’s. He did work for Frank Patania Sr., a famous Italian silversmith who had the Thunderbird shop in Santa Fe, for Al Packard (who was the founder of Packard’s in Santa Fe) and for the Waddell family that owns the Lone Mountain Turquoise Mine.
