For some unknown reason, this is when we see the “C-31” disappear from the Bennett clasp. The clasps afterward which said, Bennett Pat. Pend. were in production from about the mid-60s until the late 1980s. It has been reported that when Mr. Bennett passed, a jewelry supply store bought his dies and started producing the clasp, but now without the Bennett name on the back. This would have been in the late 80s or early 90s." I would date this piece from the mid-50s to late '60s.
