found an old book at a small charity sale at the mall , interesting old book about southern Ontario , it was published in 1904 .
in the back I noticed an odd bookmark and eventually realised it was a silk ribbon .
second king Edward find of the year as earlier I found an old penny , this appears to have been made at the time of his funeral in 1910 . its around 5 inches long and 2 inches wide , fairly small
says " his late majesty , King Edward Vll , born nov 9 1841 , died may 6 1910 , his last words " well it is all over , but I think I have done my duty " funeral may 20 1910 .
honestly not sure if its worth anything , definitely from 1910 , wouldn't of been made recently , suppose people collect items from the royal family , looked online and couldn't find anything similar but old silk ribbons seem to be pretty hard to come by based on how few were online.
