1917 Ty Cobb letter advise
I saw this and it caught my eye. As you may have noticed I really like Cobb Items (named son Tyrus after all). Any concerns on this? Claimed to be from 1917. MIKE GUTIERREZ LOA who I have never had any problems with but concerned on someone elses letterherd. Thoughts? Any advise will help. Auto looks good to me but any other thoughts would be appreciated greatly.

The subject matter and language is right. I'm not a signature expert by any means but it seems a letter of that sort would be signed and the signature looks to have been done at the same time as the letter. They look to be in the same hand and to have been done at the time, so that all seems right. The signature itself though is a little worrisome to me. The T seems much different than examples I'm looking at as does the flourish at the end of the second b. Hopefully some others will comment to who have much better expertise than me.

there are some good examples including some early ones that have a few of the characteristics of yours. You may have already checked. check the detroit letterhead one especially, looks similar Last edited by Econteachert205; 09-19-2014 at 08:19 PM.
