Does this really look like the hand of an 13 year old? I believe it is a secretarial/proxy etc. I just looked at some 1941 sigs and this is much to developed and stylish.

1941 contracts I've seen were signed for her by her mother who also signed her own name - this is not her hand.

This autograph is worrisome. Here is a late 1940 for comparison.

Thanks Eric because Andy treasured the signed photo throughout his entire life. What a shame if his most prized possession from childhood turned out to be a forgery.
