Chris Smith's signature

I see this signed Roamer spec sheet for the Roamer we just bought and it has the signature of a Chris Smith. Now, I know Chris Smith died in 1939 so it cannot be his signature. Was there a son with his name that took over the company. Finding out any info of this family is as futile as chasing a scared cat.

Cristopher John Smith was the grandson of Chris Smith the founder of the company. He was an active part of the company and that may be who signed your document. He was born in 1927 and died in 2022.
