Presidents: Nixon, LBJ, & Ford ?

Unread post by mixture »

Okay, hopefully someone here has knowledge on historical/presidential autos, all these signatures are from books I own, what do you think?

Gerlad Ford:

Richard Nixon:

Lyndon Johnson:

Reagan:

I know that Ford's looks shakey but I don't think it's autopen since it doesn't have "dots".

Okay, thanks I did see that but It worth noting that this was signed by Nixon before he became President, early 60's (at least that's what it says).

In that case, i could be wrong. Nixon signature changed over time.

Hello

I have been collecting for 22 years. Can't be 100% sure unless they were all in front of me....But they all look authentic to me including the Nixon. Not only did his autograph change over time but the inscription looks like his handwriting as well.

I Love to Collect....and right now I'm specializing in Star Wars autographs!!

Lydon looks good and does not match the 4 autopen examples I have. So it may be good.

Wow you have some great iteams there...The Nixon to me looks authentic as does the Ford. The one that bothers me a little is the Johnson.

For the Nixon, the hand writting matches throughout the signtiture and the note. His signiture as you said has changed espessialy once he bacame president. The Ford seems perfect to me as it is easy to tell that is was signed by pen on paper and matches his signiture. The LBJ though to me appears to be an AP. the shakeness and ink blots might give it way.

Anyway congrats on those great iteam of history

i too can atest to the authenticity of the Nixon autograph.

aside from the "R" in richard, the autograph matches other authentic examples.
that being said, the handwriting undoubtedly matches the autograph....

that leads me to beleive that it is authentic...

Thanks guys, I also have a Reagan auto, though I do believe this one to be real?

Now, on LBJ, I'm thinking it could be real since it was bought from a small city in Texas near by LBJ's library.

The Reagan photo is secretarial. The Nixon and Ford are good. I'm inconclusive on the LBJ right now.
