Opinions on Ruth please!

I certainly don't have an opinion about the signature itself but I have been to a lot of postcard shows and have seen addressed, unused one cent postcards. It's possible that the postcard was already addressed yet unused and the note on the back was addressed to Hagenlocher to match the address already on the front. Note two different typewriter's for the note and address.

I thought of that too someone might have discovered a cache of pre-addressed GPC's and used them to forge autographs on.....but the point I was trying to make is that at least I didn't sit there like "CAESAR" and give it an automatic THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN in three seconds...lol, I did a little research in between...

Note too that on the FRONT of the postcard , the same typewritter was used to write the "Yours Truly" and the words "Name _______________", "Address _____________" as the typewriter that wrote the person's address on the reverse. Certain letters indent the exact same way. That portion of the front was printed with the same typewritter

Chris , I am still learning even after 35 years. I was not refering to you specifically and wasn't even paying attention to your post until you just mentioned it.
Calling you out ?? are you serious ?
Usually when I do that its after a few beers and when I'm OUTSIDE of the joint.....

I do agree now, that its a very creative forgery, I just took the "long route" to arrive at that determination..
But I was curious too about the addressed portion and the name , as that information would come in handy to me (and others) down the road, because more than likely if there was one "pre-addressed" GPC in that format there are dozens.

It is good to sometimes remember that everyone posting (at least so far) seems to be on the same team. None of us want fraud or bad items in our hobby. We are all fighting the same cause. Peace, groovy and flower power....
