1947 Brooklyn Dodgers autographed ball

[Chuzzle]

Would appreciate any opinions on whether or not it contains club or real autos.

-I determined the year to be 1947 through research.

-Has 23 autos altogether including Jackie, Gil, Spider (who signed as John Jorgensen), Branca, Arky- but no Pee Wee.

-Belonged to my great grandfather; he got it while the Dodgers were playing at Cubs.

Thanks for any input!

I am sorry to give you my opinion that it has clubhouse sigs, would prefer to see in person to fully evaluate, i hate looking at vintage items not in person to evaluate

From what I recall being told, my great grandfather was some company executive and met the Dodgers in person. The ball and a pen was passed around to the players for him.

Of course I have no way to verify that.

Look at the 2 robinsons, sorry not adept at posting images to forums yet
you have an earlier sig of robinson, and a slightly later one.

I must need new contact lenses - oh wait... They look pretty similar to me. I'm going to have an expert look at the ball. If the autos are real, great. If not, oh well, it will be a nice keepsake of my great grandfather.

Thanks for your help!!
