@Chakwaina I have two. one i bought from crazy crow and one was gifted when i attended a pow wow in (arizona?) :) trying to make one of those plains breastplates but they are HARD! (I'm poor, tried to make and cannot afford the beads) but they are good. at events i just paint my body so not essential. awesome though i do love the artwork of these. got some bear claws and talons which made a nice neck piece.
Sorry but I don't think that is a vintage choker. I am native American so I do know that it is not real. You can see that the bones are not real ,they are just long white beads. And that 3 is there because someone might just be selling it. Where did you get it from? That may also tell if it is vintage or not.
my mum has one. its all black and it came from someone deeper in the family. it goes way back like 4 or 5 generations

The number 3 may have been their mark or their brand...

I can and do make these chokers--you can buy these very same materials at Crazy Crow Trading Post--check for yourself.
Those beads are not tarnished--they come that way.

It could've been an artifact if it's vintage like you say it is.
And if its not authentic it could be a craft someone was trying to sell it and that was a number they put on it.
