Hi Rene MAPS has given me permission to use any back article in a chapter newsleter, but I wanted to ask your permission to use this in the February issue of the GSPS Record. This is absolutely fascinating, and I think it is a great tool to help keep collectors from being taken in. How about it? Thanks John

The "E" is written in a style he used in the late 80s and early 90s, but in that era the umbrella tended to be nearly straight, not deeply rounded and curved. That was his style in later years after he had gone to a more flat-bottomed "E". The writing is not on a straight line, which is very uncharacteristic, and most notably there's a period after the "A", which he never did. The "s" in Edison is also more slanted than typical. I've seen worse forgeries, but this has enough questionable points that I'd be very inclined to stay away.....
