			What is your opinion on this?  It's an 1873 insurance policy signed in the lower-left by Duncan F. Curry.  He was the secretary of the company, and founding member and first president of the Knickerbocker baseball team (yeah, I know -- another Knickerbocker item!).  There's no question as to the authenticity of the document, but I can't tell whether the signature is a stamp, preprinted within the document, or live ink.  What do you think?

			Pre-printed by the looks of it.  Just compare with the live ink underneath.

			BillyCox3, thanks!  It's weird, as I can swear I see places where it looks as though ink is crossing over other ink, and places where the ink looks lighter than in other places, but in a stamp or preprint it would all be uniform.  But it's still pretty cool nonetheless.
