[QUOTE="AuDragon, post: 406853, member: 6974"]Hi Andrek7 and welcome. Evelyb30 beat me to it, one of the disadvantages of living DownUnder - a different time zone and country. ;) I also think it looks like a bookmark or book weight, used to keep important books open at set texts in a Church for example where a particular verse might be the subject of the morning service, or for holding books open to study or show a particularly beautiful illustration. It also helped keep oily and greasy fingerprints off pages when books were a lot more expensive than they are now, and probably explains the dark stains in the center of yours. I just love the Royal crowns. [ATTACH=full]141742[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]141743[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]141744[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
