“I have collected bookmarks for about 40 years. Your site was an awakening for me. I own a lot of the ones you have categorized. Thank you so much for your guidance over the years. I have a couple of the Reed and Barton bookmarks that neither you nor anyone else including Reed and Barton can identify the shape. I think I figured it out today and would like your and others opinion. On you site under Reed and Barton it is No. 0030. I believe the top represents the silhouette of an open bookmark. Opinions please.

“I can't tell you how glad I am to have found your site. I have been collecting for over 20 years. I have bookmarks I use, but, never my collectible pieces. Only last year did I see your site. It is easy to use and as accurate as any I have ever seen. Reading is a passion for me so a natural extension of that was bookmarks. Thank you!

“"What a wonderful collection! I started collecting through a goodwill gesture to me, by a dealer. He was an elder gentleman who sold smalls including jewellery, my passion and this other gentlemen tried to get his pieces (glass jewellery beads) for a ridiculous price. After he left I picked up the pieces I wanted and handed the dealer money at the price indicated. They were already below their value. When he went to return my change, he placed a painted double parrot page marker made of celluloid in my hand. When I asked '"What''s this?'" He commented with a wink, '"It''s your new collection, happy hunting!'". When I told our son, his only remark was, '"Don''t let Dad find our you are collecting something else! That was in March of 2012, I now have six, whoopee."

“"Hi HowieI wondered if your no.0634 might be a spur rather than a wishbone? I recently bought one very similar that is definitely a spur, having the two sides of marginally different lengths. I have watched your growing collection with interest over the years. Since I contacted you some years ago, I have only managed to amass about 100 in my own collection. In the UK there are very few to be found in antique markets these days. "

Bravo, you''ve collected some beautiful items, I hope you actually use some of them. I think hoarding per se ('"collecting'") is not a great idea. "

“"I have recently been given 2 silver pieces with my grandparent''s first names engraved on them. They are silver, have a stamp that looks like a house and the number 40. There is another stamp that I cannot read. They are obviously early 20th century, and I am guessing they were bookmarks given as a wedding present. My grandparents were married in 1919. Just a guess, but other than that they could really only be money clips, but I think they are too short for a money clip. They might have been for a Bible as they have what looks like stylistic Christian cross cut out design on the larger front face. There are three fork like prongs that bend back to the other side into an wide arrow head-like point.Comments?"

I'll just have to keep coming back maybe Ill find the answer. Mine is the cherub B1471M so sweet, I am up to three now. I would like to see any warnings you may know about buying these pnline, like I see some asvertised as old or antique and I know they aren't. Some it's hard to tell. BB

“"I just got started so we''ll see how long it takes me to catch up with you only 1099 to go lol. I just bought a silver Gorham/Whiting bookmark, supposedly aged between 1850-1899. I didn''t see one on your site. I also wondered about pricing and value but to a collector the price isn''t what''s important so I''m not sure that you need to be a source on price I was more interested in the history and information than price that''s invaluable. I expect you to become the expert on this topic and that a book will follow it''s only reasonable, we need to use them occasionally after all. To the person who wanted a remake forget it there are plenty of old ones around go for the real deal.;-)"

“"Item No. 0051 appears to be in the shape of a seed pod that pops open in the same general '"V'" shape/manner as replicated in the bookmark. I don''t know the name of the tree on which the pod occurs but immediately recognized it from memories of my childhood in Indiana."
