I agree that Webb's regular sig is atrocious; I really hope the "Scribbles" crowd can jump in and show us how those old-timers had such better writing than current guys!
As a member of the "Scribbles crowd, I'll try. Mr. Webb is the pre-war exception, rather than the rule. And, in all fairness to him, at least he wrote "Dell Webb" when signing his name, and not simply, say, a semicircle with a line through it. He just had the bad habit of not moving his pen from left-to-right while writing them.

When was the last time someone posted a picture of a pre-war signature in his collection while asking for help deciphering it?
