Authenticity is Everything
Frank Sinatra - thoughts?
I'm curious how the signature on this Frank Sinatra index card looks to members.

That appears a 60's IP album signature. A fast single line signature with the "r" before the "F" and the "i" before the "S" etc - seems fine if a bit rushed. What do you think?

It's certainly in the spirit of a 60s IP album signature, for sure. Here's one from Bonham's from 1966:

When you say "in the spirit of" are you saying it is not authentic? There are two in the Al Wittenbert(SP?) UACC sig study that are dead on. Do you think it questionable.? It is so fluid and natural...

No, I don't care for it.
It comes from an archive that I believe needed to be more closely examined and vetted professionally before it was dropped whole onto the market.
It's funny, I don't see fluidity at all in it.

I don't know that one. It is problematic?

I didn't know that. Might have been useful. Perhaps you wanted a fresh opinion. Here is a page from the UACC study.The "Aunt May" example is a good one. Apologies for the quality. The negative spaces and the spacing between components appear consistent with the two 1960's and the
"Aunt May" example. Thoughts? I'm looking at 12 and 13. The sure rapidity is there IMO. Was there a Gleason in this Kuster Collection?

There was a Jackie Gleason listed when the archive was sold, but I haven't seen an image.

I'd love to. It would be quick work.

I see:
Jack Kuster In-Person Hollywood Autograph Collection - 25,000+ Sign...
Let's see if they showed the Gleason.

This is going to take a good bit of looking. That Vivien Leigh look odd to you? Dean?
