Comments:

With only one minor difference, the bookmark above is identical to gb1942. The difference being the top ornate decoration of gb1942 being replaced with a single green line.

There is no credit woven on reverse of this bookmark. However, as this bookmark is so similar to gb1942 (the version with an ornate pattern), and that bookmark has the GRANT name recorded on the reverse top turn over, it is reasonable to assume this version was also woven by GRANT.
