Silver Bookmarks

This bookmark is marked Sterling with the makers hallmark. It was made by R. Blackington & Co. circa 1900. I have two of these bookmarks. On one of them, the hallmark is on the front, and the other has the hallmark on the back. One was a goof. But which one?

This bookmark is made in the US by Shiebler. It is marked with the makers mark and 2273. The top has a very detailed figural lion standing on it's two hind legs with his front paws in the air. There is a small second blade behind the front blade. The date is 1900 - 1910.

This bookmark is from Norway. The date is 1900 - 1910. The top blade is silver and is marked 830S H.Gm. with two other marks. The bottom blade is celluloid made to look like ivory.

This bookmark is made by Gorham and is marked with the manufacturers hallmark and the number 71. It is an interesting shape with the top blade swirling around in the shape of a leaf.

This bookmark was made in the US by Shiebler. It has the manufacturers hallmark and sterling on the back. The top has a medallion of a Roman warrior. The date is 1890 - 1900.

This bookmark was made in London, England. It is marked with HSB, the manufacturer, the hallmarks for London and the year 1889, and Houghton & Gunn 162 New Bond St. W. It is a figural Man in the Moon with a face on both sides.

This bookmark is made in France and is a Stanhope or 'peeper'" bookmark. It is probably silver plate over brass on the fleur de lis on top and brass blades. It was made between 1890 and 1920. If you look through the '"peep hole'" you can see 4 photographs of different scenes with '"A Memory of Peterborough'" in the center. The scenes are: (counter clockwise from the top) '"West Front Peterborough Cathedral'", '"Nave West'", Nave East'", and The Cathedral form the North East'". It also says Made in France."

This bookmark was made in the US by William Kerr. It has his famous hallmark on the back. The to is an angel or cherub.
