Bates & Bacon Bracelet: History, Value & Retailers (1900-1930s)


Question
Hello,
I have a Bates and Bacon Bracelet. It is in its box that came in, is titled "Winna" bracelet. Can you tell me anything about when this was made, who/what kind of retailers might have been selling these. Any little bit would be great.
Thank you for your time!!!

Answer
Hello Jennifer and thank you for your inquiry. Your bracelet was one of many designs of similar bracelets made by Bates and Bacon c. 1900-1930's. They were based in Attleboro, Mass. They became famous for their bracelets sometimes referred to as Sweetheart Bracelets and are very collectible. I've listed a site below that has some excellent examples.  Just copy and paste it into your browser address field and hit enter.
