Hello,

I thought maybe someone here could help me with an opinion on this autograph. This book was discovered in an attic of a house that was being emptied due to pending demolition. The person who found it sold it to me as part of a box of books at a flea market around 2005. They did not know the inscription was in this book. The house was in Carrick, PA (near Pittsburgh) and some research I did told me that Lucille Ball's family, who lived in Jamestown, NY, sometimes made the two hour trip to Pittsburgh to visit friends once or twice a year. One account even stated that she would sometimes stay there for several months during summer vacation. This would have been during the 1920's timeframe, when she would have been in her early teens (born 1911). Seeing as the book was published in 1915, this seems to add up.

I've been in touch with her daughter and showed her pictures of the signature, and she replied that while it does have some similarities to her mothers signature, she doesn't have any examples of her early autograph to compare it to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
