It isn't Smutz. The 3 is wrong. Here is my just now discovered ACTUAL TYPEFACE. I can't find any differences.

The Smutz font has the right four, but not the right three (with the flat top on the 3). This is the font used: Office Memorandum AOE

I have zoomed the Bombard BC and every letter and number matches up. The #2 is the same, the Capital Letters on "HINDMARSH" the #3, #4, etc... Anyone? Does this seem like it's right?

Someone posted that the data entries for the Obama document was Pica (common in typewriters of that era) and that Courier is the same font. Cursory search online didn’t find any examples of Pica type but did see sites where it could be downloaded as a TrueType font.

Your hunch could be right, but at this point I don’t have any time to investigate further, plus I don’t think it makes a whole lot of difference any more. I think it’s been pretty well proven that the Bomford BC is a fake (it’s not in the “wayback” machine, negative images show the text floating over folds, etc). I think a lot of people are now wasting a lot of time arguing about it. Some of them are obviously trolls...I’ve seen several with signup dates of yesterday/today whose main goal seems to be sowing confusion and spreading disinformation. For those reasons I’m moving on from the Bomford issue...don’t want to keep flogging a dead horse.
