Rob, and others;<div><br></div><div>Thanks for sharing your examples; a collection of pictures of signatures might make for a nice little dedicated website. Finding these encourages a certain awareness of continuity; that we're part of a stream, not just living isolated moments (if I may wax philosophical!). Naturally, working on old instruments gives that feeling a lot since we're constantly seeing the effects of time in the form of wear and tear. </div><div><br></div><div>Allen Wright, RPT</div><div>London, UK</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div><div>On Jun 2, 2008, at 1:35 AM, Rob & Helen Goodale wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div><font face="Arial" size="2"><div>----- Original Message -----</div><div><div>> From: "Allen Wright" <<a href="mailto:akwright@btopenworld.com">akwright@btopenworld.com</a>></div></div><div>> I like finding hidden signatures on parts in old <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> pianos, and reading old parts for wht they have to say.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br></div><div>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div> </div><div>I'm in the middle of restoring a 1925 Wurlitzer 146-B band organ to factory condition. It's quite a collector's piece, best I can tell there are perhaps less then 9 surviving model Bs. The model B has wings on each side of the facade with hand made carvings. The wings were beyond salvage so I had to reproduce new ones. I carefully steamed off all the original carvings to transfer onto the new wood.</div><div> </div><div>One the back of one portion of a carving that was glued down I found written in pencil:</div><div>"Made By D.
