I also have encountered my own previously researched blog information during searches and didn't recall it. One dealer offered me an item with a possibly interesting provenance. I inquired. They referred me to my own blog a few years previously where I mentioned meeting the person. Sigh.

Writes :Re. the Rebus bookplate, the character on the lower left of the card is surely the King of Cups from the, or a particular, tarot, although it doesn’t look like any tarot king of cups I’ve seen before. I’m not sure how or if this can help with identification, unless the initials below the king refer to an actual person connected in some way with the tarot or the initials KOC form part of the person’s name.
"The Los Angeles Examiner paper was from 1903 to 1962 when it then became the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. In the 1940s city editor James H. Richardson encouraged and promoted his reporters to bring to light the scandals and crime in Hollywood."
Let's call this a mystery bookplate until I verify with certainty who the owner was.
You input would be appreciated.

Yes--it's a good idea to have a bookplate diversion in these unsettling times. I append one I found laid into a book--not pasted for STUMP. I also have two (related?) BAERS--see attached. He was, I know, a big collector himself. And I include John Fowles too. My reproductions may not be of the best quality--though done with my MAC--because I am not very good with fancy technology.

Last but not Least here is a mystery bookplate from My own collection
Ropes End sounds like the title of a mystery novel. I'm guessing Mr .Richardson was a reporter or a mystery writer. I came up with this information while searching Google."The Los Angeles Examiner paper was from 1903 to 1962 when it then became the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. In the 1940s city editor James H. Richardson encouraged and promoted his reporters to bring to light the scandals and crime in Hollywood."
