In trying to date his signature the first thing I've picked up on is that it seems like he signed "Satchell" with 2 "L"s until right around when he made the Majors and then switched to Satchel (with 1 L). Can anyone confirm this and confirm that this was a 1 time change that was permanent?
Also, are there any other things to look for?
Thanks in advance!

Jeff,
From what I know, that is correct about the "Double L" vs. the "Single L" in Satchel.
Here is an example that I own of Satchel's negro league era sig exhibiting the "Double L" variation.
