Default Regimental letter stamps on fan

While sifting through the rubbish to be put into the skip at my father's house by my brother and sister I came across this, all the paper stamps obviously meant nothing to them and just old tat to go in the landfill.

It is a nice alternative to the usual Crests and Monograms Albums.
The hightime for this hobby was the second half of the 19th century and the fan may date from the same period.

Nice save, would have been a shame to lose that.
