Authenticity is Everything
FS wooden gift box blue facsimile signature
Here's a facsimile reproduced signature from Frank Sinatra. This is the front of an X-mas gift box he gave as a personal gift during the 1980s. Inside the box was a bottle of booze & a couple of glasses stenciled with "NOEL-Frank Sinatra" his reproduced signature.
Albums: Frank Sinatra autographs & handwriting.
Location: LA, NY, LV, PS, AC, SF.

That is a facsimile of a facsimile based on a secretarial.

A facsimile of a facsimile? Do you mean a reproduced secretarial? The stenciled signature in the glasses within the boxes are different & look like his actual facsimile signature at the time (80s).

Let me get a photo of the inside of one of these boxes. He had facsimile signed glasses as well as bottles which were labelled "This bottle #129, was personally selected for you by Frank Sinatra" - his reproduced signature.

I meant it appears rather removed from the authentic signature. This looks like a simplified smoother and more curvy version of his 1970's secretarial, with the letters reaching higher.

Exactly. I found it so odd that he did this. He enclosed glasses with his actual reproduced/facsimile signature, held in a box with a secretarial facsimile signature.

Interesting. Biff - Are you on Facebook? Would love to have you share a bit of Sinatra in a classic film autograph group we have. We've had a lack of Francis over there!
