I do want to stress that I personally can not say that the signatures in question are 100% not signed / signed by Schaefer, nor can anyone else. My thoughts and theories are just that.
As with so many other rare autographs, we suffer from a complete lack of an evolutionary chronology of Schaefer's handwriting and signature. The exemplars commonly accepted as authentic all date to a very specific blip in his short life, which doesn't help matters. Imagine if he hadn't participated as a member of the Tour? We'd be completely at a loss!

Germany Schaefer

Given your interest, I thought you might like this image of him in a NYAL uni. He only played one game for them in 1916 and this is the only image I have ever run across. Maybe pretending to be (or actually) drunk...

Wonderful, Steve! I didn't find these when I was searching years ago. I did find his 1913 passport application for the Tour, but the page I found wasn't signed.
I wonder if I was unable to locate this particular draft card way back when due to the "William Herman". I remember "Herman A. Schaefer" being used and accepted for the longest time and could very well have not been searching using the true name. Does anyone recall when his full name was first discovered? As mentioned, I have a vague recollection of finding a draft registration but didn't save it, likely due to being unsigned or a damaged scan. There certainly are cases of some people/players filling out more than one of these. Again, this could be an incorrect memory; I searched for and found so many of them!
