Re: reproduction

it look's like a home made shadowbox ball. the signature is not real the top of the B is way to large proportion wise and the whole b is to skinny as a whole. nice touch a real fountain pen sig. anybody's who's taken calligraphy know's that it's hard to come out with a real likeness given the way they flow.and the r doesn't curl back up correctly, ruth's kinda hook's etc. but whoever did it. made a h*** of a good likeness of a vintage looking ball and sig. it will go back in a yankee's shadow box. you know it's hard to find a "good fake"
