Figured this is a good section to post this. I have seen hundreds of Trader Vic signed items, but NEVER a Donn Beach in 10+ years of collecting. Has anyone seen one? [ Edited by: Hearn 2012-03-04 04:39 ] [ Edited by: Hearn 2012-03-04 04:40 ] |

Aloha, Yes I own such an item. I have a record album of Hawaiian Music 78 R.P.M. records that Donn signed to Phil and Alice Harris in 1946 as a Chrismas gift. It is pictured in Waikiki Tiki. I believe Dug Miller also has one but I do not know to whom Donn signed that one to. There is also the passport to the "Sunday Feast of the Islands Luau" that reproduces Donn's hand... but not usually signed in his actual hand... Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs.

I recently acquired this Don the Beachcomber menu which was purportedly signed by Donn. There's a few curious things about it:
All things considered, I'm guessing it's genuine, but I'm certainly curious to hear what others think. [ Edited by: TikiTacky 2014-05-23 12:38 ] |

Hard to believe someone would forge signing a menu Aloha. I could see a mass produced invite or a printed menu signature being fake. This seems like someone saw Don and had him sign a menu. Can't imagine the scenario or reason why this would be forged. There's no reason... Anyhow, I would venture this to be legit! |

Seems to match general look of Philip Roberts' sample. I vote legit also. A very cool item. |

Tacky, Here is a signature from Donn circa 1940 that sold on ebay compared to the one you posted.
Forensic science would say that the do not match? Now, I know my signature changed a lot over the years, so who's to say. DC |

I have a signed menu and I think it looks like the menu above. Signed very quickly I am sure. Very sloppy. |

I agree. I think the letter was signed by a secretary or an assistant. |

Here is a Donn Beach autograph from a newspaper ad. Would seem to confirm the menus as original and the letter as a fake. DC |
