[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 684954, member: 5833"]Don't forget that penmanship used to be a graded school subject & students were taught a particular style of cursive that was practiced repeatedly, with the goal of making your own handwriting match the model. Palmer method was a popular one: [IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Palmer_Method_alphabet.jpg/1280px-Palmer_Method_alphabet.jpg[/IMG] I was taught to make upper case Ts the way the one on your beautiful box is written; capital F the same with a little cross bar. I don't know if your seafood box is Tiffany, but do think it's very high quality.[/QUOTE]
