Default Bucky Harris signature help

Was wondering if any of you out there could lend an assist as it relates to the "Bucky" Harris signature on this c. 1930's Tamazawa Mfg. baseball.

The ball has a number of autographs, some of which I can make out and some I can't. One name that's pretty clear is a "Bucky" Harris. I am hoping to get some opinions as to whether or not this is the HoF'er, Stanley "Bucky" Harris.

I did some cursory research and the signature looks similar to several earlier examples I was able to find. But it also looks a bit different than some later-in-life examples I saw, hence my question.

Any and all thoughts and feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

From the known exemplars I have seen, I would say "no" to this one. The letter formation is very atypical and I believe this one to be clubhouse signed.

I agree with Mark. Haven't seen too many signed balls, but even his earliest sigs that I've seen have always connected the Y in Bucky and the H in Harris. There's an early American League ball on Ebay right now where he actually signed Stanley Harris (his given name) from the 30's and he even connected the Y and the H.

I think you are both correct that this signature is not Stanley "Bucky" Harris, but I don't think its clubhouse. After some additional research, I've come to believe is that this is a 1928 or 1929 team signed ball from the PCL's Sacramento Senators that included a "Bucky" Harris ("Bucky" Harris McGilliard) of their own who went on to relative stardom in Japanese baseball in the 1930's...

I appreciate the help of the board.

Jon, Nice detective work. I find it funny how many of our early (early-ish) baseball players had similar name/nick names. It makes it hard these days to determine which player signed what.

Great research, Jonathan...

I think you solved it. In addition to the anomalies Mike pointed out, the two "r"s are also wrong for Bucky Harris, the HOFer.

Nice sleuthing!
