I received these sherbets from a great aunt and wanted to know if anyone has heard of this company?From the research I have done the only thing I have found out was that it was a large department store in Washington DC.

You are correct that Dulin & Martin was a high end Washington DC department store. These types of stores typically had silver and china manufacturers make pieces marked with the store's name and not that of the manufacturer, so the mark you see is the retailer's mark. The design of your sherbert bowl is not distinctive enough to be able to try to attribute a manufacturer.
