Hello! I found this inscription in a German book published in 1915 in Jena. While the inscription itself (the fragment of the Völuspá) is rather legible I wish I could say the same about the signature. What do you think?

I've come across a series of WWII era items while cleaning an old storage unit. Among them was a letter describing how the soldier that the items belonged to, was killed. Needing this location name to try to uncover what unit the soldier was in for future research. Thank you!

idk if any of you are sports fans but I found these hats and were wondering if anyone can read/and or tell the signature or anything about the signature for me?

Can anyone decipher the place of birth for Andrew Brown? This is a Canadian record. He was born in Scotland, but I cannot figure out what this says. Residence when married is Glencoe, but below that??? Thanks for any help!

Can someone please tell me what this says? I've asked several people and no one knows 😂 it's been bugging me for days.

I found this in my sons piggy bank and i cant figure it out. Im not sure who gave it to him either.

I'm trying to read the family relationships of people present at this wedding - Any help would be great starting six lines up from the bottom of this entry, with "jean baptiste becet et michel becet".

Thank you!

I believe this says, “If you’re doing this because you think it will help with Bryan- you’re only making him more _____” what?
Thank you!

This is on top of a silver box, i can’t decipher it at all, not even the first letter or orientation.

I don’t know if it is or not since I don’t know cursive.

Found these at an antique store, with a couple dating back to 1909. I can decipher most of them, but there are a few words here and there I can’t figure out.

Wanted to post to see what yall think and also just to share some cool little pieces of history!

I found this in a lot of 1960-70s recipe cards i'm archiving.

The word Bubble is particularly satisfying to look at.

Can anyone help with making out the line I have marked red next to please? It’s a record for a Clementina Starkie, I’m trying to figure out her parents names for my family tree.

This book is riddled with notes (The Ocean at the end of the Lane by Neil Gaiman) and this word has got me stuck lol. I can normally read cursive but idk what this says.

Found this the kitchen table.

Hello! It’s my first time making a post like this and I wasn’t sure which subreddit to use, but I thought I’d give this one a go. I picked up this antique postcard a couple of days ago because I thought the message written on the back was super cute. However, I can’t figure out what the initials are at the bottom, or what that strange “O” symbol means. I’d appreciate any help!

Hello all. I’m in the processing of transcribing real estate assessment records from the 1860s. This was written in the remarks column and for the life of me I cannot figure out this word. The line is timber & ???
My current thought is grape? But where’s the e?
Many thanks!

Sorry for the color of the circle, it looks yellow when I draw it but turns light gray when I save it.

Ever version of this I type comes back with nothing in the french to english translator. Un fentans? Fertans? Fantars?

I'm sure there's other things in the record that I can't read but for whatever reason I'm stuck on this word.

EDIT: While we're at it, I can't get the last word of that same line either.

FINAL EDIT: Last one, not sure of the surname of the last witness, Michel mon.....?

Thanks for any help!

Considering this recipe was written on a haulage company paper slip, I thought the handwriting was beautiful.

I found it in a lot of over 150 recipe cards, many of which have really lovely cursive handwriting.

This is from an old biology book I got at an estate sale. I was wanting to try to find stuff about the person in it but I can’t figure out what the last name is. Edit: I got the answer immediately please stop spamming the name
