A lovely antique Victorian era solid silver bookmark in the form of a Trowel

It is hallmarked with letter Z - Although the Assay office is not marked I believe the date mark to be 1899 and the Assay office to be Birmingham

(please refer to photographs for a better view of the hallmarks)

The maker\'s initials are C & N (Crisford & Norris)

It has a beautifully engraved handle with a foliate decoration

It measures 3 1/2 inches in length with a trowel section width of just over 1/4 inch (at widest point)

It weighs just over 5 gms

It is in a good overall condition with just a couple of dimples to the trowel section which are commensurate with its age an usage and do not detract from its overall attractive appearance

Please contact me if you have any queries and many thanks for looking
