Julie VognarThere are actually perfectly black-and white N172s--they're rare, but they exist. I would like to get a look at that "pen" the young guy is holding--looks like a ballpoint, not a fountain pen.
"They weren't too big on ballpoints in '43." (1943, that is).
But I'm not sure I've ever known David to be wrong.
I have a couple of old movies with close-ups of ordinary people signing things (a check (1936), a volunteering for the airforce (1927)).
If the guys here would get off the TV for a while, I'll check them out.
Barry, TV is a noxious weed/ it satisfies no normal need.
I didn't know ANYONE wore a facemask in the '70s or '80s.
Those two "players" in front sure are going to get cricks in their necks, holding their heads that way.

Men signing consent for their physical to serve in the airforce (1917) are seated at a longish table, with ink bottles in the center of the table. They hold a simple dark pen with an inserted steel writer (nib?) in one end, which they have to dip in the ink bottle.
