A vintage gold-tone heart-shaped locket featuring a classic hinged design, opening to hold two photographs. The interior bears a distinctive hallmark of a bee with the inscription “RBM,” “ATRICE,” and “1874,” identifying it as a piece from the R.B. MacDonald Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. This mark is associated with the “Little Beatrice” line of lockets, produced in the early 20th century and inspired by Victorian-era jewelry traditions.

The smooth, polished exterior presents a timeless and sentimental aesthetic, while the interior retains its original frame structure. These lockets were typically crafted in gold-filled or gold-tone metal rather than solid gold, making them both decorative and accessible keepsakes of the period.
