Mordecai Brown ?
 

Good evening board members. I can’t remember when and where I acquired this cut signature. Recently came across it while going thru some bins of cards.
I did some online searching for comparisons but wanted to get the thoughts of the board.
Whats say you ? Mordecai sig , wife sig , secretarial sig , or plain ol fake ?

It appears to be a generally close match to a couple I have/have owned, letter formation appears off in a few key spots and it lacks the correct angle. I'd have a hard time making that call over pictures, and there are favorable elements.

The "o" in Brown looks off, botherwise looks good. I think a TPA would pass it.

It's good

Thanks to Jorge, I was able to add the Brown cut to my “Signature Collection.”

Once removing it from the prior custom, I was able to expose the front and back ends of the signature, including the traditional upward flourish of the “n”. And, upon doing some research, I learned that the signature below Brown’s was of Ed F. Leever, who was an insurance agent in Terre Haute, Indiana, which happens to be where Brown was from — excellent provenance, to be sure.

Nice.... It looks infinitely better that way. Congrats!
