Theodore Roosevelt signed picture

[Ifyndit]

This may be my best garage/estate sale find to date! Unfortunately the picture is ripped, water damaged, and has a few other condition issues. It was laying on the floor of a garage at an estate sale I attended today. I had to look around for the pieces of the picture and was lucky enough to salvage most of it. The picture is 10 5/8" x 14".
I have compared the signature to authentic signatures and it appears to be real, not a copy. I have a friend checking it out who is a little more of an expert on this subject. What do you all think, was it worth my dollar investment?

That's great! If it's valueable it may be worth it to have it professionally restored.

I'll be interested in what your friend has to say...Could be a "authentic" printed signature....The only thing making me suspect as to it being an actual penned signature is the seemly perfect centering of it under the picture....But heck you only paid a buck... Hope it turns out to be the real deal..
