I'm just going from memory but I believe that's his autopenned photo that was sent out late in life.

I think you are right. I didn’t know Zarelli’s old Zipper site was still available. Thanks very much.

That's deeply disturbing.  I knew they were autopens back when his office was still sending them out, and that authenticator didn't know years later?

Yeah, I agree. Disturbing JSA wasn’t aware of this pretty well known autopen situation.

Yep, I agree with everyone. The moment I saw the image, I recognized it as auto-pen.

As I recall the story, this was an unusual situation where Jimmy Stewart's office did not have the autopen machine, but instead had the autopen company sign the photos for them.
