Many happy
returns of
the day of thy Birth.
Many seasons
of Sunshine
be given:
And may God
in his mercy,
prepare thee on Earth,
For a Birthday
of Glory in
Heaven.

Two images above were kindly donated by Jenni Redman, and she has undertaken some very interesting research:

She has noticed that all BOLLANS bookmarks have either a white or a black background colour.
Whilst the WELCH & LENTON bookmarks are also made with black or white background, if the background is of any other colour, all such bookmarks were made by WELCH & LENTON.

As can be seen, the black background bookmark is recorded as of WELCH & LENTON manufacture, and as the other two are made with blue or purple background, these too are also of WELCH & LENTON manufacture.
