Extra ink in the transition from the "e" to the "s" in wishes which would not happen when you are writing. Look at the "h". Large part of the up loop is missing. You would see some of those features with a fountain pen which this is not.

That's some nice analysis.

Thank you for the kind words Joe D. and Tony. The extra ink and gaps in the letters are the two things I focus on when I look at items like this. You will also see those characteristics on the stamped baseballs.
