I just noticed something on some cuffs I own and I'm hoping someone might have some insight

I recently started recollecting, I had a little better collection some years ago but moved and Via rail lost a box .The box that contained all my cuffs, some of which had sentimental value having come from family members in law enforcement. 18 pair in all.But anyway no sense crying over it now.

Soon after I "restarted" I bought a pair of american handcuff company cuffs standard chain link in black. Now something I've noticed just today , and I am not sure why after all these years I notice this, is the letter B on the bow where it is stamped "American Handcuff company" "Fon Du Lac, Wis". There are no serial numbers or other markings anywhere else on the cuffs.
Anyone know what the B signifies?
