In the early days of Haskell jewelry, when
Frank Hess was the head designer, Haskell put no identifying marks on
their jewelry. As a mater of fact, it was not marked at all until about
1947. Today the early unsigned pieces are recognized from the vintage
art work and advertisements and by their wonderful detailing, hand work
and design. This group is circa 1940. See parts of this group in "Miriam
