    Description

    1940s Girl Scout BOOKMARK
    Excellent Treasure, GIFT QUALITY
    Felt bookmarks were available throughout the 1940s, and I found it impossible to tell the difference via the pictures or descriptions in the catalogs.  They are simply called “Velveteen,” but today it would be “Felt.”  I have several slightly different styles and/or colors, so I will list them separately.  This one is the lightest green, looking like it would match the much later Junior uniform.  The trefoil at the top shows nicely and the eagle is a light golden color.  The GS, arrows and trefoil edge are all slightly off-white.   There may be some slight fading, but without an original and only a black and white catalog, I’m just not sure.  I cannot find any marks or flaws on this particular bookmark.  I don't know how sturdy it would be if you actually used it as a bookmark.  Today we know that felt does not hold up well.  This measures approximately 1.75" wide and 9.50" long including a one inch tassel slit in the bottom.  Fabulous GIFT for the Girl Scout enthusiast in your family, or better yet, your Girl Scout Leader.  It is worth framing which would keep it safe.  If you want to see dozens of different Gift Quality Girl Scout Bookmarks at a lesser price,
