That’s what I thought, looks like a D or B and some other letter.

I think Brian Dudley authored an article for Parker Pages on a stockmaker for Parker Brothers with those initials. Pearson T. Bannister.
...or maybe I’m misreading the initials. On my iPhone they don’t keep their resolution well. .

I’ll have to grab the wife’s camera and try for a close up, maybe some chalk will define it better.

It is PB. Pearson T. Bannister. Head stock maker for a time until his death in 1912. He was a life long employee of Parker. He is the only stock maker that I have observed to mark stocks that he made.
I did write an extensive Parker Pages article on Bannister a few years ago. It was a pretty big undertaking for me that was over a year and a half of work and research. this topic coming up suggests to me that maybe all my work was for nothing. ?
