Comments:

Not signed as a STEVENS bookmark, and whilst still attached to the original stiff backing paper, this too does not have the Stevens name.

There is however a great deal of similarity of the components of the bookmark above, and a similar one [sb1884] which is positively identified as of Stevens making.

Also note that this sb1884 bookmark is recorded as having been attached to a stiff backing paper with Stevens name printed, and is also recorded still attached to a backing paper identical to the one displayed above.
