Hi, mustangtony. You certainly have posted a number of fine objects lately. I just had to elect to follow you on CW so I won't miss any more.
This is a very nice item. Director Hoover was a great patriot, and my father's opinion was that the FBI was the cleanest goverment agency in Washington. I have some letters from Hoover to my father, and I just compared the signature. Looks great, but I'm sure that you were already convinced of its authenticity before you posted it....Very nice. miKKo
Uh, oh. Sorry about that, Collector4. I found something fascinating on mustangtony's 'page', and I thought that I was advancing through his collection, when I saw this item and posted my comment. Sorry! However, it's a great find, whoever the owner is. miKKo
