Signed on the back top turnover:
"W.H. GRANT, MANUFACTURER The date woven on this bookmark is unfortunately indistinct. It is believed to be either that of 1884, issued to support Cleveland's successful election, or 1888 to support his un-successful attempt at re-election. Grant also issued an almost identical bookmark, recorded as gb680, with the date of 1888, except the version above does not included the words " WHITE HOUSE " at the very bottom of the silk. |
