Fred Payne Comparison

[Greenmonster]

I was going through some postcards in my collection and found this Fred Payne Dietsche card with what appears to be a signature on the back. Anyone have a comparison signature? It's probably a long shot but I thought I'd ask. Thanks. Jim

Vincent...Thank you. That makes this hunt more interesting. There maybe a 40+ year difference between when the postcard may have been signed and the GPC. I see similarities.

He is a tricky one. I checked on ancestry and believe I found him. The record books have him as being born 09/02/80 however this Fred Payne I found is born 09/02/79. The ww2 card matches the GPC for sure and has his correct birthplace of Camden. Hard to tell on the 1918 draft card if its the same as the sig on the postacrd. The weird line at the end of the F kind of looks like the Capital F he wrote earlier in the document. There is also a similiar T stroke on Thomas at the top of the 1918 document. Also I think its interesting that the postcard sig has the middle initial to it

Sean...Great research....thank you for taking the time to investigate....I was wondering about his middle initial on the postcard too, he is identified as Fred T. Payne on the postcard back, this may have caused him to sign the same.

no sweat!
I hadnt noticed that on the postcard that it lists him that way. Wouldlove to see some other opinions on this. Its great studying these rare deadball era signatures
