SOURCE: Found I am delighted to add this stunning vintage bookmark to my collection today which I found it in an old second-hand book in a bookshop. The Northern Assurance Company was established in Aberdeen in 1836 as the North of Scotland Fire and Life Assurance Company. It was incorporated under the Joint Stock Companies Registration Act and renamed the Northern Assurance Company under an act of parliament dated June 30 1848. You can read more on the Aviva Group website. The Aviva Group Archivist, Anna Stone, confirmed with me via email that this bookmark is from around 1892. Thus far, this is the oldest bookmark in my collection! |
