I have no opinion on the signature, but the paper it is on looks artificially aged. It could just be your photograph though.

Yes the paper is aged that is correct

[David Atkatz]

No, it is not authentic.

You have a beautiful picture and display, but unfortunately the Ruth is not good in my opinion.

Yes the paper is aged that is correct

Artificially aged.... meaning it looks like it was soaked in coffee rather than left around for 80 years.

not authentic

I am by NO means a Ruth or autograph expert.....in fact, I don't even understand the infatuation with Ruth :eek:...but why does everyone think this is fake? The paper or the sig itself? I see enough examples in auction catalogs and it looks good to me....
