Original Signed Autographed Tommy Dorsey Band photo 1940-42 FRANK SINATRA + 18!

Description

One of the best big band autographed pieces I have ever seen!
Circa 1940-1942.  Signed boldly in ink by FRANK SINATRA + 18 members of the Tommy Dorsey orchestra on the reverse of a vintage 5”x7” sepia-toned Tommy Dorsey Band photo. Signed twice by Dorsey - once on the front and once on the back. Aside from members of the band and the singing group, The Pied Pipers, the feature is a stellar, vintage signature of a young FRANK SINATRA. See scans! Matte finish photo is on heavier postcard stock. This is a rare, collectible piece. All signatures are in steel-tip fountain pen ink (which is rare because many times you see all or many of the signatures in pencil on these types of items).
Watermark does not appear on the actual item. Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

full list of the signatures on this item:
On the front

Here is your opportunity to own a vintage Frank Sinatra signature – an original autograph from very early in his career. Vintage, authentic Sinatra signatures are very rare! This is a must-have piece for the serious Sinatra collector. Also, a unique opportunity to own a vintage Sinatra signature that can be pegged to a specific time period!
A terrific investment - the signature of a legend.
Many people try 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. Consult with industry experts like third party authenticators if you are unsure or have doubts.
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. 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 being sold by a seller you trust.
