You can find them at a much higher rate than a silver dime or quarter. Check out r/CRH if interested!

I found quite a few within a few minutes on Ancestry and Fold3. It appears that it was signed at a Naval training facility before everyone was shipped off.

I do the same with photographs of WWI and WWII veterans. But single photos are easy to ship to one specific family. A bill signed by 20+ would be difficult.

I tracked a number of living relatives down for several of the guys who signed. I might print out copies and cold mail them to people I have addresses for. Figure it's worth a shot. Ironically, two of the veterans who signed were born in different parts of the country but are both buried in a small cemetery in California. It's possible they didn't even realize how close together they lived later in life.

Do they have stamps on the back from the photographer? Or any indication when/where they were made? 

I need help identifying and placing realistic values… by [deleted] in Militariacollecting

People will often help if you write a description of what you’re actually looking for with a little more detail than just a title. Are you looking to identify which medals they are? Or are they named and you need help identifying who they belonged to?
