The Navajo Sterling Silver Eagle Pin associated with Fred Harvey is a style of vintage Native American jewelry from the Fred Harvey era (roughly 1900s–1950s). This period ties to the Fred Harvey Company, which operated restaurants, hotels, and gift shops along the Santa Fe Railroad (and later Route 66), selling affordable "tourist" or souvenir jewelry to travelers in the American Southwest.

These pieces were lightweight, often machine-stamped or die-cut from sterling silver sheet (contrasting heavier, hand-hammered traditional Navajo ingot silver jewelry), and featured popular motifs like eagles, thunderbirds, arrows, crosses, or geometric designs.
