Barney Dreyfuss autograph

[ATP]

From what I can see, it looks printed to me as well. Especially since it is in the similar ink tone as some of the printing on the card.

Printed.

That is why I came here guys . It does look printed under magnification. I hadn't looked at it under magnification until now. I know this is sort of a long shot but if you compare that writing (even though printed) to the one above it, and not that it might matter, but the Mrs. Harmon signature looks to be in the same hand? Could Barney have signed Harmons wifes name? Or is that wishful thinking?

Could be. Maybe someone has a couple ALS examples so we could see more handwriting other than just the printed one.

[David Atkatz]

I've got an ALS (to Jesse Tannehill, giving him his release so he could join the 1903 Highlanders). I'll try to get a scan up later this week.

Sure looks possible.

I would agree and, given that Dreyfuss likely controlled and distributed these passes himself, I would say it is not only possible but probable.

Thanks guys. Let's see if David can post something too but I already had another lurker, a professional autograph guy, tell me he thought the writing is Barney's also.....Kind of weird, no Dreyfuss autograph but looking like some of his writing anyway....thanks again and any other info is appreciated too. It will be a neat, albeit probably inexpensive lot, in our auction.

Leon, I bet it does well - his handwriting, along with the facsimile is a good Dreyfuss substitute while deciding which arm or leg to cut off for a real one.
