The old Bell Trading Post, was an off-shoot of the Fred Harvey "Tourist Era" of souviner jewelry that began around 1900. The company was located in Albuquerque, NM and was founded by Jack Michelson in 1935. They sold "Indian Jewelry" to tourist locations throughout the western U.S. The business was named "Bell" because Jack's wife Mildred maiden name was Bell. Later, gift ware & moccasin divisions were added to the existing Bell Jewelry division. In 1972, their name was changed to Sunbell Corp.
