Either engraving was a service that was able to command a respectable fee 90 years ago or people were cheap.... even in crime novels.

Both! Same as today.

Agree… always someone looking for value at someone else’s expense.

A cheap zoo lost its gorilla and instead of paying for one they hired a guy in a gorilla costume to act like a gorilla.​

When the people came to see him he pounded his chest and moved like a gorilla. Right under him was a lions cage.

While he was running around chanting like a gorilla, the bottom of his cage broke and he fell into the loins cage.

He started screaming and yelling "help me, help me"
As the lion got closer. The Lion ran to him and said "Shut up! You are going to get us both fired!"
