Was looking for opinions on this auction piece Signed by Roosevelt.
Thanks Randy

Did you look at the other items the seller has available? None come with COA. Besides, the prices are inconsistent on items. I'd avoid him.
I have seen these before. I believe they are authentic. It’s an early version of FDR’s signature so that is why it looks a little different than the later ones we are much more used to seeing. Typically these types of letters go for around $600.
I agree. Those letters were signed in his pre-polio days. Not sure if polio impacted his fine-motor skills or not.
I know Woodrow Wilson's signature changed after his stroke, although there was speculation Mrs. Wilson was signing documents for him.
The letter refers to a program during WWI where the government asked citizens to lend binoculars and telescopes to the Navy for the war effort. These letters are a known item, and as far as I know they are authentic, but I am not entirely sure. A little research might shed more light on the subject.
Thanks everyone for reviewing the item. It's got many similarities to one I already have.
Your are right the starting price was a little low in my opinion.
I guess certain letters could have been preselected to be hand signed by FDR.
I can't imagine he had the time to sign a letter to every citizen that made a donation
As I write this the auction has ended and the price for the winner is a great bargain if it's real.
Thanks again for your replies
Randy
Member Herman Darvick would be the person for an opinion.
