                                                                                                  First Page: The C's

1. RNC11.jpg (1583 bytes)RN. A capital C. Top overhangs bottom.

2olivaC1.jpg (1876 bytes)2olivaC4.jpg (1149 bytes)Oliva.

2. RNC12.jpg (2735 bytes)RN. Pretty normal c's. Reminds me of the type a draftsman might make.

2olivaC2.jpg (2044 bytes)2olivaC3.jpg (2294 bytes)    2olivaC4.jpg (1149 bytes)2olivaC5.jpg (1433 bytes)Oliva. # 3 is partial similar to the pair of c's in row 3. #4 is match for #1 and similar to # 5 in row 3 below.

3. RNC13.jpg (3755 bytes)RN. Tops are left of the bottoms. Opposite of # 1 above. The second pair of c's is from "account".

4. RNC14.jpg (1001 bytes)RN. A "c" from "faction" believe it or not. Looks like a small B.

1. RNC21.jpg (5049 bytes)RN. Top overhangs the bottom.

2olivaC4.jpg (1149 bytes)Oliva.

2. RNC22.jpg (6346 bytes)RN. Tops are left of bottoms.

2olivaC2.jpg (2044 bytes)Oliva

3. RNC23.jpg (4445 bytes)RN. Pretty normal. Last one almost closes.

 

                                                                                                 Third Page: The C's

1. RNC31.jpg (1521 bytes)RN. Capital C. From "SBTC".

2olivaC4.jpg (1149 bytes)Oliva

2. RNC32.jpg (2524 bytes)RN. Three types of c's. The last one looks like an architectural/drafting (artist?) C.

2olivaC2.jpg (2044 bytes)Oliva

3. RNC33.jpg (3031 bytes)RN. The loop is almost closed on the first two. Closed on the third.

2olivaC3.jpg (2294 bytes)Oliva. Two smaller c's similar to #1 in row #4 below-not as heavy a line.

4. RNC34.jpg (1726 bytes)RN. Top is left of bottom.
