Vintage FRANK SINATRA signed page late 1940s LARGE autograph Stork Club NYC RARE

Description

Vintage, original signature of FRANK SINATRA in ink (circa late 1940s).
Gorgeous, very large ink signature of Frank Sinatra who added “For Barbara, Fondly-“. The autograph was obtained by Barbara in the late 1940s at New York’s famous Stork Club. Barbara was the daughter of Sherman Billingsley, former bootlegger who was the founder and owner of New York's Stork Club. Coincidentally, Sherman’s nephew, Glenn Billingsley, was married to Leave It to Beaver actress Barbara Billingsley. (The actress should not be confused with Sherman Billingsley's daughter Barbara, who like his other children, sometimes figured in publicity about the nightclub.) The page is a heavier stock than regular paper and measures approximately 8 ½” x 5 ½”. The signature and personalization are very large in size – I added a ruler in the scan to show scale.
Watermark "ebay" does not appear on the actual item.
Here is your opportunity to own a vintage Frank Sinatra signature – an original autograph from early in his career. Vintage, authentic Sinatra signatures are very rare! This is a must-have piece for the serious Sinatra collector. Reasonable offers considered.
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.
Since 2015, Frank Sinatra’s centennial, I 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.
