    EARLY ASSAYERS' WRITING SAMPLES

    David Cassel's request for writing samples of early mint assayers
    Eckfelt and DuBois turned up assistance from Pete Smith and
    Joel Orosz. Pete wrote that "Craig Whitford sold a handwritten
    document from Jacob Eckfeldt in his sale of October 6, 1995,
    lot 264. The document is illustrated in the catalog."

    Joel wrote: "I have two samples that are supposedly pertinent.
    One is a purported inscription on the Mint Manual from Jacob
    Eckfeldt, the authorship of which I doubt, and the other is an
    inscription on Pledges of History which may have been penned
    by DuBois. I will send photocopies to Mr. Cassel this
    weekend."

    To his note Joel added: "Keep the E-Sylum coming - as we
    say in Battle Creek, it's Grrreat!"
