Bell Trading Post of Albuquerque, NM was founded in 1935 by Jack Michelson within a second floor location at 3rd and Central in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They sold Indian Jewelry to tourist locations throughout the western U.S. in competition with Maisel's Indian Trading Post. The business was named "Bell" because Jack's wife Mildred Bell Michelson's maiden name was Bell. Later, gift ware & moccasin divisions were added to the existing Bell Jewelry division and Bell partnered with Maisel's. In 1972, their name was changed to Sunbell Corp.
