Question
BB Brooch
Hi Sally, is this a Binder brooch? I have a Binder bracelet but the B's are in circles, this is on a plaque? It also has a Pat.# would this be the date made, or just product #? Thanks, Meridith
AnswerHello Meridith and thank you for your inquiry. Most of the Binder Bros I have seen are the double circle marks. There are several companies using the BB logo - the below site can give you some information. Just copy and paste it into your browser address field and hit enter:

You might also try the below resource where there are several alphabetical listings for manufacturers:

If you input the patent # into your google (see below url) or browser search you should be able to pull it up and possibly get some information on the manufacturer. The date would be the date the patent was filed.

Hope this helps and good luck !
