Book marker....English? Lord Nelson?

Posted 14 years ago

Is this item an old book marker? It is made of wood, painted....two pieces connected by an old fabric. The part that would have been exposed looks bleached out by the sun?

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté, KB (29 September 1758 – 21 October 1805) was an English flag officer famous for his service in the Royal Navy, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. Of his several victories, the most well known and notable was The Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during which he was shot, dying towards the end of the battle.

thank you VikingFan82...perhaps a gifted (the workmanship is very good) student of English history in the 1800's made this?
