It is not known how this bookmark is signed, and might not be of STEVENS manufacture.
A Stevens advertisements of April 1863 and of 1869-1870 record various religious ribbons, including a set which could matches the set shown above. The same description though could also relate to a set of three narrow ribbons with pointed ends (recorded as sb990). These same adverts though also record a set of two narrow bookmarks, recorded as Chants & Hymns. These two have been identified as being sb506 (Chants) and sb1006 (Hymns). The design of alternating circular pattern with IHS in one circle and a cross pattern in the other, which is a feature of these two ribbons, is the same as the ribbons above, and it is possible all these ribbons are of STEVENS manufacture. As shown in the image above, there is a set of three bookmarks, and they are recorded on this site as: FAITH (recorded as sb681) |
