If anyone has any info, let me know:) PMG opted not to comment? Report this Post to the Staff

My understanding of the two sets of signatures is that the two bottom signatures were secretarial, and the vertical/diagonal signatures were the actual signers. If you look closely you'll see that the upper left signature matches the handwriting of the lower left and the upper right signature matches the lower right signature. The upper signatures are the people that signed the lower signatures. Hope that helps. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 03/15/2021 03:05 am Steve's explanation seems reasonable, but why would they bother to sign? To me the signatures on the right hand side don't seem to be from the same hand. Nice note, and interesting question from the OP. Are there any notes from PMG on the back of the holder or writings on the note itself? I'm going to take a guess that the top signatures are from people that were famous at the time for lack of another explanation. Edited by jimbucks 03/15/2021 03:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 03/15/2021 03:26 am When I was my father's caregiver (Alzheimer's) and had Power of Attorney over his estate, I was often asked to sign his name and then my name below his. The signatures at the bottom (Austin/Milton) were definitely the important people of the day. Edited by SteveInTampa 03/15/2021 03:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
