Don, I wanted to say something about this type of signature, in what time period I would classify it, and ultimately I agree with your statement. Late 1955 to early 1956. I am with you.
I was asked to delete a response by a participant in this discussion and ended up deleting everything past that point by mistake, sorry! But the consensus was that the Elvis is very likely real.
Don, could you please post the front of the photo? To keep everyone from having to reenter their feedback, I'm closing this discussion once Don reposts the photo.
Again, sorry for deleting such good comments—especially mine!
