Authenticity is Everything
Albert Einstein Letter ... Authentic??
I just bought this letter at auction at what I believe to be a great price, which makes me nervous. I don't have it in hand yet but would like opinions on its authenticity. It certainly looks like an authentic Einstein signature. Also where would be the best place to go for a certification?

The pre-auction estimate was...$100-$200? For an Einstein TLS?
It seems "bears a signature" translates to "might be".

I left what I thought was a low bid not thinking I would get it. Well I have it now and I will decide what to do with it next. I will probably drive and pick it up tomorrow.

Well, a TLS with a genuine hand-signed signature would be easily more along the $2500+ line...the initial estimate and description wording...

Hi Chris,
I don't think anyone was suggesting it was not a period letter (I took it to be what it appears - a mass produced letter "bearing" a facsimile signature; but yes, it could of course be something else). And you say "appears to be" - this is not hand-signed - the matching overlays show this. And the examples you linked to appear dead matches as well.
For me, I would return this facsimile letter.

Hello again,
Here is the first example you linked from eBay (top) with the letter showing the same exact facsimile signature
