Come up and see Mae West

Okay, what do you think of this one? Could she be true - in this sig at least?

The portrait Eddy posted is apparently from a 1960 photo shoot. Here is a 1970 PSA on a Breckinridge photo. I agree - the OP is one to avoid

Eddy, the Nate Sanders one you posted is a great comparison. It sold me on the one in the OP!

As an aside, here's an example of one that I would consider bad. It's from the large "To Roy" collection that was being dropped on the market several years back. I see some similarities in the "To Bob".

I suppose it's again the vivid style that makes you consider, right? Looking only at the letters I again can't see serious differences. It seems fluently and dynamically written as well.

Well, the "To Roy" is a forgery in my opinion. I was enthused about that collection when it first started appearing as it was pretty well done in some cases and it fooled me at first.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of these ("Bob" & "Roy") hadn't been modeled on the other when they were done.
