Help - Bumblebee mark mystery - sterling 398 925/1000

Post by Bondoson »

I have a pair of 8” candlesticks from my mom’s sterling collection. It’s the only maker’s mark I haven’t been able to identify. It’s a bumblebee with the stamp sterling 925/100 398.
It’s p https://ibb.co/bQdBRv4 artially worn away.
I’ve searched and searched... https://ibb.co/bQdBRv4

Would anyone here know this maker?

Thank you for any help!!
