Identifying Vintage Sterling Silver Bracelet: 'B' in Hexagon


Question
Hi,

I was just wondering the vintage of a filigreed clasp bracelet.  The hallmarks inside read "STERLING" with a 'B' in a hexagon inside.  Any info on the vintage/etc. of this bracelet would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Shelby

Answer
Hello Shelby and thank you for your inquiry. I have not been able to locate a mfg with just a "B" inside a hexagon. Lots of hexagon's with B's but they all incorporate other words or marks.  I suggest you browse a copy of American Jewelry Manufacturers by Schiffer. Your local library should have a copy or possibly your local bookstore. It is quite expensive to purchase. Below is a site that may also be of some help. A visual comparison is always easier than descriptive.  Hope this helps and if I find anything else, I will let you know.
