Hello all,
I might have posted this before, but I would really like some help with this. I sent Pres. George H. W. Bush a 2 page letter and his book "Speaking of Freedom". Two months later I got it back with a bookplate inside, which I believe to be authentic. But some people have said its an autopen. But I'm not so sure. It doesn't seem to show ny characteristics of an autopen, like the dots, and I have not found any similar looking signatures over the interwebs, and the main template I have seen looks different. So I'd really like some opinions, and if you think it's an autopen, could you perhaps please post the autopen template you think it's from?
Thanks!

I haven't really heard of President Bush using secretaries, and I head that he signs bookplates authentically (I got this before his hospital stay)

I have several bookplates personalized to me in his own hand. Looks like his hand writting. It does look like an older clearer version of his signature....But doesnt seem to be an autopen.
