The best luck was using the digital photo and playing with the brightness and contrast using Microsoft office picture manager.
Going to gun shows over that last 40 years, I have never seen a Ladysmith collection like yours. You have quite the rare collection. Most people have never seen a Ladysmith much less a collection like yours

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to find a black-light. I have access to VERY powerful software tools, but in this case the lack of contrast makes pulling the pencil information out of the background difficult. Give it a try.
I can't take any credit for the collection. These were part of my Dad's extensive collection. Here are a few shots from his museum in St. Augustine. They were taken in the early 70's.
