Comments:
Signed: "T.STEVENS COVENTRY" on back at pointed end:

This bookmark also has a woven diamond registration mark on the reverse, which is rather indistinct, so I cannot work out what the date is.
This design however is not recorded by Godden as having been registered.

Indistinct diamond registration mark woven on the reverse of this bookmark

The symbol at the top would appear to be an " O ", which would make this 1862. The overall maturity of the design however would suggest a much later date, and as such this top symbol should in fact be a number.

The symbol on the left is not clear, and looks like " 8 ", which would be consistent with a bundle number for a post 1868 date.
