I purchased a bag lot of watches that was sealed and contained mostly ladies' watches. I thought that when I opened the cover on this watch that I would see a dial but it actually contained residue of a jelly-like perfume. There are no Gold markings but there is a Heart-shaped mark with an "H" inside. There are stones set in a Maple Leaf design in the centre but they are paste. Can anyone tell me more about this bracelet especially the age. Thanks everyone. RER(BOB)
That mark has been attributed to "D.A. Hart, Attleboro, MA" on one jewelry marks site but I couldn't find any additional information.
Thank you valentino97 and aghcollect for this information. There are no other marks on this bracelet but it is quite small so certainly could be a Child's Bracelet and from the 1940's. Thank you for the D.A.Hart information aghcollect....I'll be looking for more info. Thanks also to freiheit, mikelv85, vetraio50 and Roycroftbooksfromme1 for the loves. RER(BOB)
My wife dug out Valentino97's recommended book source of info. from storage and that's where I found a photo on page 157 of C. Jeanenne Bell 's " Answers to Questions About Old Jewelry- 1840 to 1950" that shows a very similar bracelet that has a patent date of 1905 and that was made by AAG CO., so I revise my estimate of the manufacturing date to circa 1905. Thanks valentino97 for the lead. BOB
Very unusual and unique piece Lou, and I love it!!

It's called a sweetheart bracelet. Normally a gal would get it from her sweetheart. I never seen one with perfume, it would normally would have his photo in it, like a locket. From 1900 to 1940's. It's very pretty. worth between 25 to 100 on ebay.
Thanks Julonmain for the info. and thank you W.S. for the love. RER(BOB)
