Would a ghost signer in 1910, still keep so many of the same aspects that seem to be present in all the other exemplars they claim as good?

Dave- I thought the same thing. A ghost signer or secretarial signature is usually pretty easy to spot, exhibiting many different characteristics such as slant and pen pressure (Babe Ruth's Sinclair Oil ball for example). Maybe he took his time and took a different approach to signing the bookplates than he would have signed a letter or autograph for a fan at the ballpark.
