Silver Bookmarks

This bookmark was made in France between 1890 and 1900. It is made of celluloid and some silver metal possibly pewter or aluminum. It is signed "Offner" by the artist.

This two piece bookmark has an engraved charm marked on the front E.G. L. from F.H.P., and on the back XMAS '94. A white satin ribbon is attached to both parts. The blade is a gold color metal with ornate scroll work and a diamond etched finish.

This bookmark was probably made in Denmark. It is marked 830S and has Swedish import marks. The top has a green agate stone. The date is 1930 - 1940.

This bookmark is made in Birmingham, England. It is marked with the the date mark of 1901 and the hallmarks for Birmingham. It is in the shape of a trowel with flowers on the inner blade and flowers and scrollwork along the handle.

This bookmark was made in Sweden. It is marked JLH, the Swedish import marks and 830. The top is a figure of an owl. The date is 1920 - 1930.

This bookmark was manufactured in Italy for Gucci. It is marked Sterling 925 and has a star symbol, number 525 and the letters FI. These are probably the manufacturers marks. The date is somewhere between 1970 and 1990.

This bookmark is American made. It is marked S. Kirk & Son Sterling and the number 8. I can't be sure of the manufactured date. I have two of these bookmarks and one is solid in back and the other is indented and the pattern can be seen from the back. I guess the solid one is older.

This bookmark was manufactured in the US by Towle Silversmiths. It is marked with the familiar hallmark of the T enclosing a lion along with Sterling and the number 6. On top of the 6 is stamped the number 17. This is a very interesting piece because the front is a very detailed relief of a rose and the back has a scored picture of a woman with a feather hat. The date is 1890 - 1920.
