George Weiss Autograph Opinion

[uga1980]

Good evening. I wanted to get some thoughts on this. Thanks!

Many years ago when I was buying 100's of items from Ron Gordon I bought some Weiss. A few years later he asked for them back as he found out they were secretarial. Unfortunately I forget what the secretarials looked like. For the most part the one you posted match up with the checks and contracts I have so I think it is OK

Thanks for the information!

Just saw the post .
Yes the Weiss is good IMO.

George Weiss' authentic autograph bears the traits of a man who spent a lot of his life signing paperwork. He signed rapidly, yet legibly, with a unique wispiness which nobody but him could really replicate.

The late in life secretarials exhibit deliberate letter formation with a heavy pen pressure. The individual letter formations are much wider and more defined. Placed beside an authentic, healthy Weiss autograph, they're easily distinguishable. Apples and oranges.

Thanks everyone for the input. I appreciate the validation.

On the "later in life" signatures (probably secretarial, through the mail) the "W" in his last name actually looked like a "W." On a genuine signature - like the one shown here - the "W" in Weiss looked like a "U."
