I'm working up a blog post about a 1933 World's Fair season pass given to Al Simmons, probably in conjunction with his participating in the premere All-Star Game.

I'm wondering if this brass "card" was actually "autographed" by Simmons using some sort of engraving tool. The signature shares some characteristics with his ink-on-paper autograph. I imagine that etching an autograph into a metal plate is much more challenging than even signing a baseball with a fountain pen.
Opinions?

The blog post should be up on my site (linked below) in a week or so. I'm trying to backlog some posts to keep the flow going while I'm on vacation in Western Pa. between now and Labor Day.
