Nice McGowan ball, one thing about McGowan that I could never figure out is why he had 2 totally different types of signatures. I recently bought a McGowan letter with a signature similar to your ball, but got concerned as Ron K.'s book makes no mention/illustration of that signature. I feel better after seeing your purchase.
Perhaps Jim can enlighten us with Bill's signature variations.

It looks as if he had a "professional" signature and a "ball park" or "fan" signature. The signature on this ball is what I have mostly seen on formal letters and other items that may have been signed for someone of importance. Hopefully, Jim can give more background.
