A copperplate signature
I have been trying to decipher the signature that is linked below for
some time. I thinught that, perhaps, a group interested in writing impliments might have contain some expertise in making sense of a signature. In any event, the signature is here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../signature.jpg Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thanks Ed |

A copperplate signature
I'll third that: "Mrs. Chas W. Storms."
I wouldn't really call it Copperplate, though -- more like her version of Spencerian, or a similar business hand. What era is it from? Brian -- |

It's curious that all her letters are neat and precise except for the "m" that she left open and rather sprawling. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It has many Spencerian type qualities, and if it is from the early 1900s, that would probably still be in the right range for some Spencerian writing. Aaron W.

It's curious that all her letters are neat and precise except for the "m" that she left open and rather sprawling. Actually, a lot of the letters have a similar distortion from what would be the Spencerian I have in the handbooks I have read. The 'm' isn't actually too far off, except that it has much more rounded tops and joins at the bottom than would have been expected. A few of the other letters are similarly distorted. Aaron W.

Thanks for your thoughts... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...aturelarge.jpg You know, I could also see Storrus or Stovus out of that too, but I think Storms is probably the better guess. The angle on the last two humps before the final s in that curve down on the left side instead of out, which possible for an 'm' but not something I would expect given the proportions of the rest of the letters.
