Leander Zimmerman Autograph Famed Reverend / Member of the Clergy D.52


	A 1x4.5' cut signature of Leander Zimmerman, affixed to a 3x5 index card. Zimmerman (1860-1952) was a famed member of the clergy. Slight glue residue surrounding the signature, but signature is strong and in vintage fountain pen. Provenance: We recently purchased a nice portion of the William Tierney collection. For six months in the early 1930s—April 1 to October 1, 1932—the Waterman fountain pen company ran a contest for boys and girls. Each entrant was to fill an autograph album with signatures of notables of the day and send it to the company to qualify for a prize. An array of 333 prizes were given away, from the $1000 first prize to the Waterman’s pencil for runners up. Waterman’s autograph album, 5 x 7.25, belonging to a young man named William Tierney of Weston, West Virginia, with 324 clipped ink and pencil signatures, almost all on clipped slips affixed to the inside pages, and later removed from the book and glued to 3x5 index cards. A copy of the original sale scanned below (not included since the names listed probably do not match the offered items) as it was originally sold through RR Auction in 2012. Autographs and Authentication: There is no collectible genre that has more deceit than the autograph business. With twenty-five years in the business, we can honestly say that if there is even a 1% chance of something being fraudulent, we won't offer it for sale. We purchase from reputable sources, major auction houses and a small number of trusted autograph chasers. When we say it was obtained IN PERSON, it was obtained IN PERSON! Our inventory isn't "full" of the A-List names (as a person who has chased, we know how impossible it is to get quantities, or even come away with one) that are most in demand, but we offer a wide variety of interesting and uncommon signatures in our store. Of all of the authenticating houses out there, we recognize PSA/DNA or JSA as being above the rest and if you choose to get something authenticated by them and it is deemed suspect, we will be more than happy to give you a full refund.
