That signature looks like fountain pen though it may be some other style of pen. Is that card from Dwight Chapin's collection? He is a long time collector from Mill Valley.

Set Builder - Ball point pens came into common use in the 1940's. I have an autograph album from the 1948 Olympics, purchased from the person who got it, completely signed with a red ball point pen.
