"Shirley Temple signed a lot in green as a child. Ginger Rogers also liked green ink earlier in her career. Green fountain pen signatures are more common than green ink pen signatures."

"Although they are hard to find, I like autographs done in green ink. I think Marilyn Monroe often signed in green ink. I once had a JFK in-person autograph in green ink.

"I don't believe it's a forgery. It was probably better stored than usual. I've seen a number of older signatures that remained bold. Green ink seems to age well."
"That's a good point. I kinda thought it looked rather fresh and unusually clear. The "C" looked rather labored to me; like someone was really trying to make it look like a "C" Gable would normally sign."
"It's so fresh to be signed in the 50s or earlier. Are there known secretarials that fresh looking?"
"I rather thought so."

"Thanks for the response. I've seen both on various items signed by Gable but didn't make the connection between fan items and legal documents and whether he used a lower-case/upper-case G. "
"Yes, for the majority of time he use the lowercase "g" for fan signing and used his uppercase "G" primarily for legal purposes. There may be some instances that vary from this although not many."
