ANSWER: MACPHERSON-ROUBAUD COMPANY
I recently purchased a lovely old sash pin that has a maker's mark on the c-clasp that I am baffled by. It is the initials MR in a diamond shape. Any ideas?

"Thanks so much. This pin is likely much older than 1962 and I'm certain it is MR in the diamond. Thanks for the help though!" --Sherri Gillette, 10/14/08
"Would it possibly be a piece of "miracle" jewelry? Made to look like the old celtic brooches etc." --Sharon Hall, 10/14/08
"In "American Jewelry Manufacturers" There's an MR in a diamond for MacPherson-Roubaud Company Providence, RI,Jewelers' Circular:1915. Jewelry Manufacturers. It shows a really tiny dot between the M&R in the mark. Can you see a spec in between?" --Lilly Vittetow, 10/14/08
"Thanks so much! That must be it!" --Sherri Gillette, 10/14/08
