Comments:
This bookmark does not have a woven makers name, see below.

As however the design is almost identical to the ribbon titled Benj. Harrison / (No Free Trade) / Republican Candidate / 1888 (recorded as gb100), which is signed, it is reasonable to assume this ribbon was also made by GRANT. In particular, the design of the eagle in front of the portrait is identical.

The woven date on this bookmark appears to have been partially removed prior to being woven. It is however assumed to be applicable to the 1892 campaign rather than the earlier 1888 campaign, for which a slightly different bookmark is already recorded.
