OT; Vintage typed letters;

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.

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?

Excellent observation--they look like they came from the same typewriter.

Letters are known to be faked using vintage typewriters. This is an old trick.
