Okay, I downloaded the resized pictures and uploaded to here.
I really hope somebody has seen the stamp before.

I know nothing about spinning wheels, but that's about the coolest one I've seen.

What a neat wheel. I couldn't help but think of Slim Whitman when I saw it.

That said, I would maybe call it a German/Bavarian style Parlor Wheel?

  What do you think the initials are. F & B ?  F C B,
The symbols in the circle around the outside look like Fleur-de-lis. Perhaps it is French or Canadian

Doing a bit of research on Spinning Wheels They suggest "Slanty" are Scandinavian  for Scandinavian/ American in design

This was interesting about bad examples of spinning wheels and what to watch out for:

I believe that it is JLB. But I am not positive.

I have read that before. I agree with you. I didn't pay anywhere near what those people want.she has everything. If I did a few tweaks and put a drive belt on her, she would work.
