FRANK SINATRA signed page 2/8/1941 Haines, Stafford+ autographed - Dorsey band

Description

Vintage, original signatures of LOWELL MARTIN, FRANK SINATRA, CONNIE HAINES, and JO STAFFORD in pencil. All four were members of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra at the time the signatures were obtained on "Saturday, Feb. 8, 1941" according to the notation made at the bottom - likely by the individual who obtained the autographs. The autographs came out of an autograph album that included signatures of other big band stars circa 1941-1942 obtained by a young lady from Riverdale, NJ. Signed page/paper measures 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" and was affixed to an autograph album page measuring approximately 5 1/2" x 4 1/2".
Watermark does not appear on the actual item. Reasonable offers considered.
Here is your opportunity to own a vintage Frank Sinatra signature – an original autograph from very, very early in his career. He would not be a solo performer until he left the Tommy Dorsey band in September 1942. So this signature was from the middle of his 2 1/2 year tenure with Dorsey. Vintage, authentic Sinatra signatures are very rare! This is a must-have piece for the serious Sinatra collector. Also, a unique opportunity to own a vintage Sinatra signature.
A terrific investment - the signature of a legend. Since the 100th anniversary of his birth, prices of vintage, authentic Frank Sinatra signatures have continued to go up.
And since 2015, Frank Sinatra’s centennial, we have seen many people trying to sell Sinatra signatures – some authentic, but most not authentic. Do your research before you buy a Sinatra signature. Rule of thumb – if the price is too good to be true, it probably is.
Sinatra was a willing autograph signer throughout his career (60+ years), however many forgeries and secretarial signatures exist in the market today. It is widely known that Sinatra utilized secretaries to deal with his mail correspondence, including autograph requests, as far back as 1939-1940. His wife, Nancy (Barbato) Sinatra would also help answer his fan mail in the early days. Many (some would argue MOST) of the Sinatra signatures you see for sale in the market today are classic examples of secretarial signatures from the 1970's - 1990's or outright forgeries. Do not take on the risk of buying a Sinatra signature that you do not have confidence in. Look for signatures that have credible background and provenance.
