This is a Jimmy Stewart Autopen. It matches pattern #5 in an article I posted a few years ago.

Yup it sure does,  great link, thanks.  I have bookmarked the link.  I am still seeking out a signed copy of his book of poems !  There are a few on ebay now.  This one was the lowest price one, so I thought Id ask.  I thought bookplates would be the real thing.

I have an authentically signed copy of the book of poems, and it is signed on the first end page, not a book plate.

Not to say that they do not exist, but in my experience, every book plate I can recall seeing has been an Autopen  signature.

I think they are both good. Same style, placement and pen as my signed copy.

so other than the bookplate, you think the other 3 images are all real?  They are all amazingly around the same price!
