Other comments:
Signed: "J.CALDICOTT        OWEN. BROS" on the top turnover

There is also a diamond registration mark woven into the reverse pointed end. It is difficult to decifer the date, although it looks like it is 13 November 1862.
That date though is recorded by Godden as being applicable to a Caldicott bookmark titled "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year", being oca56 on this site.
