Rube
My biggest concern is that "Rube" does not connect with "Marquard" on this ball. Virtually every exemplar that I have seen of him appears to read Rubellarquard from the late 1940's to his death date. His later sigs that I have studied (including those with his preferred black Flair pen) always seemed to be penned this way.
It's just my opinion, but I would stay away from this example personally.
If you would like to see exemplars of what I am talking about, PLMK. I've got several to look at.
I hope this helps.
