I got this a few months ago. It seems real to me, curious to know what you think. Is this an authentic signature hand signed by president William Henry Harrison. Thank you very much in advance.

Nice, Robin. I found that there are two version of William Henry Harrison signature, I think mine is his earlier version. Here is my JT and MF signature.
There are some atypical features of this signature which would make me leary. In the first place WHH appears only to have signed hs nam Wm H Harrison wither as aisde to camp to Mad Anthony Wayne in the 1790's or as Governor of the Indiana Territory. In all other positions and posts he appears to have used the form WH Harrison and in this format rhe "a" is usually not completely closed and the "s" is a loop below the level of the surname. He used this form of the "s" even in the 790's and early 1800's and cerainly later.
