I do not know how to tell if it is a real autograph or facsimile, looking under the magnifying glass I feel like the dots of the printing also go through the autograph... It is in rough shape but possibly for the low price, someone will want this cool piece of history. I do not find any others like it on eBay or Google... But a little history of both subjects. Dolinoff later became a policeman, and in his later years he also was a dance instructor who taught Jayne Mansfield and Rita Hayworth! Capezio footwear, still in business today, was started by Salvatore Capezio, who became the official shoemaker for the Metropolitan Ballet dancers!Shipped with USPS First Class.
