Abschuss wrote in Interesting Items Currently on eBay:I have talked to them. They live south of me in Genoa City. They are not a former employee, but selling for a former live or deceased employee. They were not to forth coming with info. I asked them what they had and if I could see it, but no, we only sell on ebay...At one time I think they were sitting on a mountain of stuff.

I spotted this particuralas it is very similar to the G of Gygax's signature: again, maybe it is a common feature in the US but here ppl in general do not write the G in that way...

You have to take into account that this grandmother of a teenager in 1979 was probably born sometime around 1910, and got her schooling maybe almost a century ago. I bet if you see handwriting from a person in Italy born in 1910, it will differ tremendously from someone born in, say, 1980. If this peculiar styled G is indeed seen in US-educated writers, it was probably taught that way.
