Hoping for good Beatle news on wifes est near April 21, 1964 signatures

I suppose a lot of boomers these days are pulling artifacts out of their closets to be a little closer to their fascinations with Beatlemania, drooling on the past. Ya Think?

We have had four separate "seated collarless" photos,  each one individually dedicated and signed by the Fab4 or their 'other hands' to my wife Wendy.  The photos and accompanying letter written by a dear uncle notes the photos were sent/ acquired after they had left the country (USA) for Their trip back to England.  My shots are thru framed glass & sadly, the ballpoint ink is seriously faded.

Originally thought I might have news for the wife Wendy, dedicated on these photos, by this Sundays Beatle events. Maybe the grandkids can figure it out (in another 50 years)?  $$ Value is not important at this point for us. Hang in there with us, best you can.

Last but least RINGO Signatures - April 21, 1964?   and here's wishing to find a renowned autograph restorer to bring back the ballpoint imprinted signatures to legible, assuming there is some risk even where disclosures are upfront on such restorations.

Appreciate any advice !!

Assuming your eye is correct, any ideas, anyone, on who was handling autographs chores within a week or so of the Beatles leaving Florida for a return trip to England on Feb, 21st, 1964?     Autographs arrive March 2, 1964.    ripitup

I know nothing about the Beatles, but after looking at authentic examples these do not compare at all.

Mike,

If you know nothing about the Beatles, why on earth are you knee-jerking this? The provenance is outstanding and there are a few '63 signature remnants here.  I'm just trying to find clues to the origins, or even the names of the characters involved, Beatles or Not.

Sorry, I'll rephrase.

Although I do not know much about the Beatles nor music memorabilia in general, I wanted to see what you had here. After taking the time to look at authentic examples of the "Fab Four" signatures, I came to the conclusion that yours did not match up, in my opinion.

Very well stated Mike. This is my first rodeo here and I'm awkward!

What is the outstanding provenance you talk about?

no way

These definitely don't look authentic to me either, unfortunately, and I have no idea who could have signed them.

That's four strikes, but the games not over yet. These aren't back alley botcheries or ebay gotchas.  I be hoping for time to reveal secrets. And if not, others might perhaps stumble on these discussions for their Friday evening entertainment! (smily)
