I have my doubts about this one, Etienne. There are a few typical traits but more atypical, IMO.

Here is a link to a previous discussion which may shed some light. Beware it gets off track but there are some good Reeves examples in the pages.

Thanks, Joe.  I appreciate you taking a look.  To be honest, the other autographs in the book look much more "aged" than this one......I have my doubts about it as well.

It certainly does look fresh for being 80+ years old.

Etienne, I agree with you and Joe, this is too nice and crisp….In my opinion an autograph book empty page "fill in". I was at Mz. Shockley's estate sale held in her yard just a stones throw outside Camp David. She did USO camp tours with Landis during WW2. The best Reeves I ever held in my hand. Almost all others are rushed IMO.

Thanks, David.  I appreciate the look and your thoughts.  I'm certainly with you and Joe the more I look at it.

Back before I knew better, album "fill in" pages used to fool me.  If it came as part of an album...and other autographs were good...it had to be good....right?  Not always!

Etienne, I use to literally kick my friends leg out of sight of the LA dealers who had real vintage autograph books that would have that random sharpie signed "George Washington".
