Sigs range from 2 - 7 in strength (with most around "3" - "4").
Joe D. is secretarial Possibly traced over in spots? A slightly "off-color" ink looks to be added in certain (otherwise light) areas. But would need to see the ball in person, to verify.

I agree with what's been said so far. The signatures are quite weak--an arbitrary and subjective numerical scale doesn't mean too much--what's important is that most of the signatures are or are nearly illegible.
On the plus side it's an OAL ball, in excellent condition, and quite white for it's age.

Thanks alot so far guys. I had told Mike (my friend) I rated the ball an overall 4-5 of 10 due to the fading sigs. I told him the Joe D was "clubhouse" and I think the Gomez is also.
Anyone agree or disagree on Gomez? --or any others as being "clubhouse"? (I know most are very hard to see!)

I'd give the sigs a 2 - 3 at best.
To me, 4 or 5 might have some moderate skipping or sun fading, but would be complete and legible. Just my 2 cents.

Shelly---
Thanks for your Joe D info! The fun would be in knowing what you think of the Lefty Gomez above Joe D---Clubhouse or authentic?

Ball was presented to me as a 1941. Usually a good "tell" is Johnny Sturm, who played in 124 games that yr and was never in the Majors again!
All players fit 1941 EXCEPT 1---Mel Queen--who was there in 1942-'44-'46 & '47. So, am I correct in assuming this ball was most likely signed during Spring Training of 1941 where Mel was most likely on the field but didn't make the team? He spent 1941 w/ 3 diff Yankee farm clubs, including AA Kansas City.
