Lot 68: A Collection of Souvenir and Commemorative Bookmarks in Four Ring-Bound Albums, Late 20th / Early 21st Century

This lot comprises a substantial collection of souvenir and commemorative bookmarks housed in four ring-bound albums. The albums include two in red, one in blue, and one in black, all featuring gold-tooled borders and accents. Each binder is filled with clear plastic sleeves, meticulously organizing a comprehensive array of bookmarks. These bookmarks are crafted from various materials, including paper, cardstock, and some explicitly labeled as “REAL LEATHER.” The collection predominantly features British themes, such as RNLI lifeboats, specific towns and landmarks including Chesterfield, the Iron Bridge, Kingsbury Water Mill Museum, and Kelham Island Industrial Museum Sheffield. Additionally, there are bookmarks related to popular British television series, including *Emmerdale*, *Heartbeat*, and *Last of the Summer Wine*. The assemblage suggests a modern to late 20th or early 21st-century origin.
