Does anyone know of a good source, book or otherwise that covers font or type styles ? I'd like see something that shows the different types, proper names, history and useage. A good timeline would be handy with number styles. Sure we see the old newspapers from our period. That helps. But how many times have we seen a watch, a gun, sword that was engraved
"Presented to...." A good source can tell us if its fake/forgery or genuine ? (The lettering style is not from 1860 more like 1900) Or give us an idea of WHEN the engraving was done. And it would be dandy to have said source for stationary and newsletters. (A period wedding invite.) Not fakes. Maybe your group would want to present an engraved gift to your CO ? I'll see what I can find and post it.
