August 1878 South Boston Gas Light Co STOCK Share Transfer Receipt
Original, written in fountain pen as shown, gorgeous cursive too! 15 shares of Capital Stock from South Boston Gas Light Company from August 2, 1878. Enlarge for details. Great paper ephemera and very suitable for framing and journaling. Add to a special scrapbook. This was 15 shares valued at $1500...in 1878! Pretty nice collectible! Measures about 3-1/2 x 8 inches, and ORIGINAL!
Quill or fountain pens are out there. You can also use a special feather. There are books and probably some instructions on YouTube how to write like this. It is called calligraphy and there are many many many different styles.
I wish I had that class as an option when I was still in school. The main "extra" courses we were offered were chorus, band, theater, and a art/painting class. Once I got to High school they still offered the ones I just listed plus foreign language classes (Spanish or German) and driver's ed. I think I took all of those classes at some point or another just to see if I liked any.
I doubt anyone has a class option for calligraphy unless they are very lucky, I didn't in the mid last century(darn makes me sound old!) but I bet there are community classes. Try YouTube, bet you'll find something there.
