Sterling & 14KGold Money Clip w/ db Makers Mark

[cfudge]

This is marked with an unknown (at least to me) maker's mark with a backward b and frontward b or db, that are conjoined by an almost complete circle around them and then STERLING & 14K. I'll post the photos so you see what I mean. I have looked everywhere including this forum and cannot find the mark. The identity of the maker would be appreciated. thanks


I believe it to be American, as there are no marks indicating it would be from Mexico or any other country. [/img]

I should have written out the company's name in case someone is searching for it someday, Dolan & Bullock Co.
