Beautiful 1930s Named USN Sub Dolphins in Rolled Gold by Scarce Maker B&B (Bates & Bacon) Co

This is a beautiful circa 1930s United States Navy submarine dolphins in rolled gold by scarce maker B&B (Bates & Bacon) Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Bates & Bacon went out of business in 1942 (probably acquired by Robbins, a maker in the same town). The wing is engraved on reverse to an F.F. Gainer, of whom we know nothing.

Circa 1930s.

Approximately 13/16" in height and 2-3/4" in width.

Rolled gold.

Horizontal pin with come-under locking swivel catch.

B&B CO. (Bates & Bacon mark); F.F. GAINER.

This is from a United States Navy collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MCEJX13 LIGEX8/13 SHGEX12/16

8 (Excellent-): The dolphins show some very light wear and tarnish only.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
