Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p> Two big$$ letters from two different AL & NL hof players and being sold by one person. Dated 1921, the other 1948. Maybe watching too much CSI, but I am seeing similarities in both typeface and letter orientation. Bear in mind, ink heaviness will vary as ribbon advances. <br /><br /> I don't want to post the complete letters as these are active. Any guys with vintage typing/print knowledge or an eye for this stuff?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1166043584.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jay</b><p>Excellent observation--they look like they came from the same typewriter.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Letters are known to be faked using vintage typewriters. This is an old trick.
