help with mark of BMCo on bracelet

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » Mon Sep 11, 2006 11:15 pm

Hello. I have a bracelet that is composed of individual shields of the Canadian Provences. The back of each shield says Sterling and under that the letters (initials) BMCo. I have seen three other bracelets that are the same with the same initials but, can find no info on who the maker is, a possible date or era, etc., and no info on possible Canadian jewelry makers (if that is where is was made). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Can't post a picture because the initials are just way too small.

That's probably the mark of the Breadner Company Ltd., Hull, Quebec, Canada. Founded around 1903 in Ottawa as the Breadner Manufacturing Company. In 1930 the company was reorganized as the Breadner Company Limited. In 1956 moved to Hull, Quebec. Might still be in business, not sure.
