Default Plenty of signed contracts with Bresnahan's signature

Andrew,

I collect Bresnahan cards, and I have seen numerous contracts in auction houses with his signature. It's possible that he may have signed with a pencil which wasn't unusual back in the day. With that being said, I'd lean towards not original. Bresnahan's signature is pretty legible on the contracts I have seen listed.

pencil is a possibility for the look of the autograph, good call, but still should see some variation where lines cross each other.

Maybe it one of those crazy a$$ ball point pencils that won't overwrite on its own "ink" thus creating a stamped look! Thanks for the endless avenues of theories though.

Could be a fountain pen the was fairly commonly used in the thirties so very well could be legitimate.
