I like fonts, so... the cursive is identical to the cursive I was taught, how about you?

The non-cursive seen in the second-to-last image... is more difficult than "standard" alphabet, but probably matches what would have been the movable type fonts of the time. Someone copied that directly out of a book, including the serifs and what-not.

The curlie-ques on the numbers on the multiplication teaching tool are cute.
