(a)If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument , whether payable to an identified person or payable to bearer, and the indorsement identifies a person to whom it makes the instrument payable, it is a " special indorsement ." When specially indorsed, an instrument becomes payable to the identified person and may be negotiated only by the indorsement of that person. The principles stated in Section 3-110 apply to special indorsements.
(b)If an indorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is not a special indorsement, it is a " blank indorsement ." When indorsed in blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.
(c)The holder may convert a blank indorsement that consists only of a signature into a special indorsement by writing, above the signature of the indorser , words identifying the person to whom the instrument is made payable.
(d)" Anomalous indorsement " means an indorsement made by a person who is not the holder of the instrument . An anomalous indorsement does not affect the manner in which the instrument may be negotiated.
