It has good qualities but I am rusty and don't recall seeing that curved of a baseline or that "f" connected that way in earlier years. Perhaps Etienne or JoeW. For now, I'll have to pass. Several letter formations appear incorrect ("wford") but it's been a while. I have to see if I still have all my CEAD exemplars on hard drive. I am probably being too cautious.
Here is mine 1952:

If you look, the seller is also selling a secretarial Bette Davis. So I am thinking my original thoughts about the Crawford - secretarial.

Don't be so thin skinned Eddy. It is usually a safe bet items posted here are from just a few sources - eBay figures prominently. You are correct, it was never mentioned, but I found it in the first place I looked. I always check certain sources when speaking to an autograph, or I aspire to. Context can be important, at times.
