Good job!

This may be a better match to the OP in terms of formation and period:

None of these exhibit that baseline in the OP which I am guessing is due to the size. I had a 6 inch Crawford supersig that still had a dead straight baseline.

I obviously need to find my CEAD exemplars!

"I'm not thin skinned. I was just curious and didn't know it was on Ebay. Again, sorry. I'll know better not to ask in the future."
Perhaps I misread the situation. I apologize. All future questions are vital.

I agree, Gallery of History is a superb source, and Russell is a very fine man. The staff is excellent. My finest pieces originate with HD. That said, they have listed secretarials before, which they always weed out when notified.
Is this the case here? I'm not saying so at all. The buyer will use his eyes here.
Would that was always the case.

I'll jump too!

Here is a 1930's secretarial identified by Markus B.:
Here is the same inscription by Joan Crawford (seems a match to what I posted which was speculated to be a secretarial):

The Markus B. secretarial has a slightly curved or humped baseline when compared to genuine examples...
I am looking at letter formations "oan", "rawford". The "a's" are interesting. Connectors too.

While on the subject her 1960's secretarial should be shown for anyone who needs it. I had this saved.
