Inside this 1927 manual:
Written when the Speedball pen was the working tool of every lettering shop, this 1927 manual teaches the pen the way tradesmen learned it: Speedball pen nibs and poster-pen alphabets, alphabet construction and letter spacing. Lettering artists, sign painters, and show card writers building a reference shelf will reach for it every time a job needs a period-correct hand. Lettering students still copy these plates stroke for stroke; the spacing lessons alone repay the price.
