I was puttering through a stack of album pages on my worktable. By puttering, I mean removing the stamps from the album pages, grading the stamp and putting them into G&K 102 Collection cards. I noticed a 733 with an odd looking cancel. On closer examination I discovered that it was a signature. Admiral Byrd had actually autographed the stamp honoring his Antarctic Expedition II. The stamp is mint with about 1/4 of its gum gone (probably stuck to an album page).

Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

You just might have a find there. Here's a link. Scroll down to Byrd's autograph and you can compare.

re: Autographed Stamp

Image Not FoundRegarding my Byrd signature, he charged me a dollar for it, but I got a very rare signature, for I made the check out to Richard E Byrd. If I had been a little smarter, I would have made the check out to Richard Evelyn Byrd.
I wonder how many signatures are that way?

re: Autographed Stamp

In my research after discovering the autographed stamp to compare the signature to other examples of the Admiral's signature, I found examples of his autograph on the web. It certainly appears to be a match. There are at least two plate blocks with "REByrd" autographs on sale for over $900. And on one site I found a typed letter to President Roosevelt addressed as "Dear Franklin" and signed "Dick Byrd". In the letter he forwarded two Christmas Island stamps to the President. Here is the link:
