We were discussing on an earlier thread an album page with signatures of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall and if it looked authentic or not. I appreciated the input and lively discussion and learned some things. I've become kind of intrigued by their signing habits. In looking around, there are not a whole lot of exemplars available to study signed by the two of them.

Here's one that I came across that is signed on an old brochure for the Pump Room in Chicago. The signatures are in pencil and there is an additional signature as well that is not identified. It has an LOA from Autografica in the U.K. that was issued in 2015. I believe I've heard that they have a fine reputation. I'm posting images of the signed page as well as the LOA for reference.

How do these signatures look to folks?

Garry is a really nice chap and I have purchased many items from him .  He is also very honest.  where is this for sale out of interest? 

Dealt with autographica uk once I believe. Had a good experience with them. 

It look quite new for something 80 years old. 

Who is selling this one. I can make better judgement when I know the seller.

It's on eBay....seller's identity is blcharrac0.  They have 27 positive feedbacks.  No other autographed items that I can see...lots of various kinds of antiques.  They did message me that they purchased it directly from Autografica.

In my humble opinion the Bacall looks good. I have to wonder why, when there was enough space, Bogart never lifted the pencil when signing his last name. From the limited exemplars I have on Bogart, he lifted once or twice when signing his last name. Those with more exemplars of Bogarts signatures need to get involved. 

Exactly, David. That issue of Bogart not lifting the pencil also hit me after I posted this. In studying him a bit, I also have not yet seen an unbroken example of him signing his last name.  Maybe other's have?
