Lucy: I have no clue as to the maker, but the bracelet looks to me like a tribute to baseball (ball and bat), croquet (mallet and ball), and golf (golf balls and bent tees). Just kidding, of course, but what interesting decor!
It's very pretty.

I have a silly grin on my face. I was being facetious (I think!), but thanks. Hmmm. Would a jewelry maker put sports motifs? Well, maybe.

I have seen these around for years and know that they have to be at least 25 yrs. old. I always thought it was a western type motif with horse shoes and an Indian hatchet of some type. I could be wrong on this however.

Maybe I WAS on the right track thinking horse stuff. Now that I think about it, the B on the ends does look like it might be a brand.

Sorry about that. I posted them and I did the naughty thing not try them. The one site is excellent and maybe I can find it. the other is a Vendio Thread that has other sites.

If you are going to list it be sure you list all the items about horses. I think this bracelet would be one that people that have ranches and also buyers that like horses. Besides it is sterling.

I was going to list it tonight but I really want to know who made it.
My first eBay rule (generally invoked when my mother wants me to list something for her ) is: Does it have a name?
Second rule is: How stoopid hard is it gonna be to pack and ship this thing?
So I think I'll wait. Perhaps someone will pop in who knows the name of the maker. I've trudged through so many sites I can't remember which ones they are!
Time for a glass or two of Two-Buck while I wait for the storm to get going!

Lucy: It has a very Scandinavian look, to me. But I know very little about jewelry.

I just looked at the Mexican mark site that Libra posted (thanks Libra, that's useful) - at the top of the page, there's also U.S. maker's marks. I THINK your mark might be Wilson - check it out. The bracelet is lovely, appears hand hammered, and does have a Scandinavian look. I think the marks are just "modern art," although they do look something like runes. How about "Arts and Crafts" period?

HI, Lucy. Let us know what you finally do, please. This is a fascinating discussion. I like "arts and crafts," and it wouldn't hurt to include "runes," too. I suppose, though, that we could all be 'way off base with our guesses, LOL.
