    I have not been able to find this stupid mark on the back of this bolo. I think it is a pictorial mark for animal tracks, but I have not had any luck finding it....

    Animals tracks? All I see, admitedly upside down, is the name BENNETT, Pat Pend (for patent pending_ and the code C-31.

    Piece of a bolo tie. The holder thing on the back is useful for dating, but not leading to who made the front part.

    The ID could be right, but remember the bolo is upside-down.

    Unfortunately, the bolo is not the work, nor is this the hallmark, of Sidney Sekakuku.

    I'm not sure the mark you're seeing is actually intended to be a hallmark or signature.

    Yes, there is some information available on the Bennett clip that does help dating from circa 57 to 60 something. The mark may just well be an unknown maker I guess. I was thinking hoof stamp and why I said animal track symbol. @Taupou I agree it is not sekakuku.

    Could be a mark, but rather than animal tracks "I see a little silhouetto of a man...."
