Stevengraph bookmark - sb2525

Signed: "T.STEVENS (COVENTRY) LTD" on back at pointed end, and as such dates this design to the post 1906 period:

Stevens logo on the reverse pointed end of this bookmark

It is known however that on the destruction of the Coventry factory in 1940, the Stevens business transferred to Brough, Nicholson & Hall, who continued to make silk bookmarks with the Stevens name.
The designs produced by Brough, Nicholson & Hall included greatly simplified designs, as the bookmark above, and it is quite possible this bookmark dates from that post-war period.
