EARLY ASSAYERS' WRITING SAMPLES SOUGHT

"In my research in the Postage Currency Coins area, I have come across some documents that may have been written by the hand of Mint assayers, William E. DuBois or Jacob Eckfeldt, circa 1863.

In order for me to establish this, I need to have comparison handwriting analyses of each of the men to be reasonably certain who penned the documents that I would like to include in my new book entitled: United States Postage Currency Pattern Coins.

Can you or any of your members send me a Xerox of a writing sample of either man or both. My fax line is 305-662-9400 and my mailing address is David Cassel, 5995 SW 97 Street, Miami, Fl. 33156. I will be very grateful for anyone's assistance."
