Racy

I'm not 100% sure what this bookmark is; appears to be a sheet of decals or stickers. Almost like a sheet of temporary tattoos. I was unable to peel anything off, but that might be due do the decay of the adhesive over the years. It is marked #106 with a price of ten cents. No other information on reverse.

Found in "The Fifteenth Annual of Advertising Art" published by The Book Service Company, 1936
