Does Anyone Think These Marilyn Monroe Signatures are Real?

Hi- Wondering if anyone out there is familiar enough with Marilyn Monroe signed memorabilia to detect forgeries. Pictured below are three messy sigs on three items (Monroe calendar/Monroe publicity still/random Niagra Falls souvenir pic) presumably given to a fan from Upstate New York in 1953/1954. This gentleman also had a white glove of Marilyn's which was under glass in a display with a plaque indicating it was presented to (local) channel 4 during her visit to the area. Formation of the "M's" looks a bit off but the formation and the slant of the "arilyn" and the "onroe" look right to me. I know her actual signature varied considerably from her trademarked studio signature. Pic #1 looks best to me. Do you think they could be real? Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't. Where did they come from?

They are from a private collector out of San Diego, Ca. He bought them 25 years ago from the elderly recipient noted in the dedication, who was a lifelong resident of the Niagra Falls area.
