Painted leather. I’m a little ashamed to admit that pulling this bookmark out of my collection I not only had no recollection of who gave it to me, but that I wasn’t even sure where Costa Rica was. Central or South America? I wasn’t sure. So of course I had to look it up.
Book: Encyclopedia Britannica (1973 edition)

Isn’t Costa Rica where Jurassic Park took place?

I thought that was an island. But I looked it up and you’re right. In the movie it’s an island off the coast of Costa Rica anyway. Not sure why you would remember that . . .

Because JP was one of the last great movies! All downhill after that.
Is that bookmark made from extinct dinosaur skin?

Yep. Probably the most expensive bookmark I own.

I’ll give you 2 american pennies for it. Once we stop using pennies, I’m sure they’ll become collectibles and worth a mint!

I dunno. We stopped minting pennies in 2013 and I still have a jar full of them that aren’t worth anything. Might have to wait a while before they become collectibles.

The day after you die, THEN they’ll be worth a mint.
So fake your death and then collect. Fail proof! Guaranteed or your pennies back…

It looks quite old, lovely one though.

I don’t think it’s that old. But then I have no idea where or when I got it so I can’t say. I guess I should have taken notes on these things, back in the day. But too late now.
