The image above in the centre, with blue coloured writing, does not have any woven name on the reverse, either at the top or bottom turnovers. This is not unusual as it is suspected that Welch & Lenton made bookmarks for other sellers, and these would not necessarily have had their name on the reverse.

It is not known how either of the other two bookmarks is signed on the reverse.
However, as the words are exactly the same as three other WELCH & LENTON bookmarks (see owe188, owe190, and owe192), there can be little doubt this bookmark was also made by WELCH & LENTON.
