Hello Deborah,

thank you any ideas on the last name?

 

Hum... How about Vickers?

Debora

 

I really appreciate this thank you

 

Could be wrong. What state did you find it in?

Hello there I am in California

 

Found a Vickers also and the dating did line up either.

 

Actually, Chester Vickers looks pretty good!!! What's it say below that though??? Looks like it might begin with an 'S'??...something...'tersville'??

​

 

How do you get that blue tint to help see the signature?

 

It’s hard to say what it says below. It’s so broken up.

 

she ran it thru her photo program on her computer..

 

Yep...looks like VICKERS.

 

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it have nice day.

 

@Joe Collura, I use an older version of Photoshop (CS 6), Invert the image, adjust the Adjustments/Levels, (then Brightness & Contrast.....sometimes it works really well and sometimes NOT so well).....depends how much from the original image there is to work with.....AND sometimes changing the HUE will bring up the lettering better than the Blue....there's a lot of fiddling with different adjustments & filters... I've been playing with it for years, and still feel like a beginner sometimes!!!! It's a HUGE Program!! But it's just a hobby for me too!!

 

It’s a very cool program I appreciate you using it to show me the image of the signature thank you.
