I think the bullseye "C" came a bit later. I think...

Tom C

That looks good to me. Not sure when the bulls-eye began, but I know he wasn't consistent with it...sometimes the first C, sometimes both, sometimes neither. I've seen him use both variations in 1919...dude was inconsistent.
Here's a poor photo of what is believed to be a secretarial version.

Thanks everyone. Guess it is a keeper

It is a nice example of his signature. According to my research his true bullseye signature began in the 1917-1919 era and started with the first "C" and then evolved into both "C"s a short time later. Michael in your example you can begin to see the very beginnings of the bullseye forming on the first "C" as an inner loop . As he aged his signature changed to anything he felt like.
