W B or B W maker's mark on petal bells.

William Barton was listed as an "artificer" in an early census. He may possibly have been making sleigh bells as early as the 1790s in New York state.

maybe just colonial era :wink:

William Barton was listed as an "artificer" in an early census. (3) He may possibly have been making sleigh bells as early as the 1790s in New York state. (6) He is best known, however, for the bells he produced in East Hampton, Connecticut, in the early 1800s.
