Interesting Beatles Set

I recently picked this set up with a load of other Beatles items.

So, what do you all think about this interesting 'secretarial' set?

I'll give you my thoughts later.

Any opinions welcome.

this looks more like a blatant forgery than a secretarial.

Those don't look familiar to me either.

Heres another fake autograph that came with a genuine set, which again I got not to long ago:

Now compare the 'from', 'love' and 'Beatle' with other known real Harrisons, and they look very similar.

So, if this 'To Barbara' is written by George Harrison. Now compare the 'Love from' and 'John Lennon', from this item to the ones written on the promo card at the start of this thread.

The 'John Lennon' is nearly exactly the same.

Agreed the 'Harrison' surname on the promo card is a bit funky....but whoever wrote the 'To Barbara' seems to be the same person who wrote the signatures on the promo card.

What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, I don't think that anything on those two items was written by George.

Really? I thought the writing on the 'Barbara' one is pretty much spot on with the genuine examples I've given.

Thanks for looking Mark.

I remember this one.  It does indeed appear to be in the same hand as the one on the fan club card posted above.

Sorry to bring this back up....but I've just seen a lot from an auction, which consists of some items written by Cynthia Lennon.

One item is a brown bag, which I've attached. Check out the writing.

This writing looks very much like the examples I posted above. Especially the Lennon...I wonder if the above items were actually written by Cynthia?

Compare 'love', 'from' 'L' and 'nnon' in Lennon.

Anyway, if this is her writing....hopefully this is good reference for the future.
