What could be a more appropriate way to mark your place in your Bible, or in any book for that matter, than with an Old Rugged Cross Bookmark.
It’s more than just a place marker. Each bookmark is strategically cut to show an authentic, natural scar in the leather… a gentle reminder of the price that was paid, which helps us keep things in perspective on our daily journey.
Made from our richly textured, full-grain, polished Tobacco Brown American Buffalo with a leather tassel at the top. Edge coated and edge stitched which are hallmarks of quality construction that add durability and an aesthetically pleasing look to the bookmarks.
When it comes to American Buffalo, Colonel says, “Expect a leather that is unapologetically rugged with more character, nicks, scrapes and variations in color.” Learn more about our American Buffalo Leather.

Old Rugged Cross Bookmarks – Set of 3 
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain “wore it out,” you got your money’s worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we’ll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That’s not what we’re about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special “feel” of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It’s all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you’re buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steerhide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don’t apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There’s a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.

I purchased these bookmarks as a gift for my father-in-law, who is a bishop, and they were absolutely perfect. The quality is outstanding — beautiful full-grain leather, excellent stitching, and a weight and feel that immediately communicates craftsmanship and care.
These bookmarks are more than just practical; they’re deeply meaningful. The design and symbolism make them ideal for regular scripture study, and they’ve quickly become a treasured gift. This was an especially great choice for someone who is difficult to shop for, and it couldn’t have been better received.
As with everything we’ve owned from Colonel Littleton, the quality and attention to detail are exceptional. Highly recommended.
beautiful very meaningful gift which I gave to a graduating seminary student.
Most meaningful product on this site! I love the scarred leather as a daily reminder of what my Savior went through for me on the old rugged cross. I plan on giving one cross to my son for his graduation, and one cross to my daughter at her recital. And of course, a matching leather cross for mama! So, no matter where we are all at, we can look at them and be together, and reminded of God’s great love for us. Thank you for being an unapologetic company that still has values and convictions. Will definitely be ordering again.
