Might keep in mind that there are errors in many reference sources and sales descriptions are quite often just wrong (including a lot of 'unmarked' Whiting & Davis pieces that are clearly not of expected quality). Factual evidence should be something like proof that Whiting & Davis registered that oval mark (it's not present in the U.S. trademark registry), or an advertisement or catalog page showing the same bracelet, or perhaps the same bracelet bearing a proper Whiting & Davis mark, or even an '<i>Oromesh</i>' mark, a registered trademark they started using in the early '50s...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
