The circle B mark isn't in Lauver's list of makers, and 4502 isn't in my catalog...so don't feel bad - P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Interesting.

Any chance of a nice, sharp photo of the B-circle, Bob?

The grip pattern may provide a clue too...

not a chance of me getting a picture that good of the stamping I can hardly read it
the handle pattern is a series of triangles gradually made larger.  bob w.
