Charlie Gehringer "The Mechanical Man" was very mechanical. I viewed dozens of auction, including signed baseballs, team baseballs, photo albums, Perez-Steel Cards, photos, and so on, and all but three were signed Chas. The three exceptions were signed "C Gehringer"
Some ballplayers like Yogi Berra, Hank Aaron signed their names differently early in their career. For example Yogi, signed Larry Berra very early in his career, and at some point signed Yogi exclusively. If you find a Larry Berra signature from the late 1950's on you most likely ran into a facsimile stamped signature.
Most of the signatures I viewed were signed after 1929. If you find a signature from a earlier date is possible you might come across a Charles Gehringer signature. He might have also signed "Charles" on legal document or pay checks. (Didn't find any)
The one item I found signed Charles Gehringer was a facsimile signature on a 1934 poster. see Related Links below for the picture from Wikipedia. The one Baseball bat I found was Stamped Chas. Gehringer.
