A gravestone in Goldfield, NV.

Sorry, not buying painted writing, painted in pretty much anything, surviving over 100 years outdoors looking like that.

A literal engraved headstone would have significant wear on the writing.

This reeks of a fake touristy ghost town headstone.

What's library paste?

- I had to look it up:
  
  “A thick, white, water soluble, sweet-tasting adhesive that was commonly used in libraries and schools for paper and cardboard**. Library paste is usually made from Dextrin, a water-soluble modified starch. Some formulations may contain Starch, Gum arabic and Bone glue.”
  
  E: of course now I want to know Bone Glue is…

  When they talk of making glue from horses’ hooves, that’s what they’re talking about. Similar to gelatin.
