We have had the privilege of introducing to the market some truly significant collections and individual pieces. Letters and manuscripts of famous people are family heirlooms, which descendents of the writers and recipients, as well as collectors, often chose to sell. They select us to handle or purchase these treasures because of our reputation, understanding of the market, appreciation of the history, and the financial rewards.
Among the families we've worked with are those of:
- General John Glover, who ferried Washington and the Continental Army across the Delaware - his correspondence with General Washington;
- Bishop Carlton Chase of New Hampshire - his correspondence with Abraham Lincoln;
- Dwight D. Eisenhower - his important letters to a close relative;
- Jacob Trieber, first Jewish federal judge - his entire archive, including his original appointment signed by President McKinley;
- Senator George Murphy - his entire archive, including his seat in the U.S. Senate and correspondence with Ronald Reagan.
If you have autographs for sale, whether single items, small groups or collections, please contact us. We are respected for our integrity, fairness and prompt payment.
