Click on names for links to images and complete descriptions

This alphabetical archive of some of our sold items contains good examples of the autographs of the listed personalities.  We list items here that we think are particularly helpful, interesting, or historically significant, and we include one or more scans of each piece.  The descriptions, especially for letters, generally contain information regarding the historical context of the item—so there is a lot of good history here as well.  We hope that you find the archive useful.

Use this archive, too, to get ideas for your own collection or for the wonderful gifts that historical autographs, and particularly framed items, can be.  Most of the framed pieces shown below are History In Ink Originals.  The matted pieces have the same distinctive quality but were not framed.

Please check our category listings in the blue column at the left for items that we currently list online for sale.  These are only a small part of our inventory—we always have material that we have not had time to scan and list online—so please feel free to contact us about personalities or items that you do not see or about other questions that you may have.  Almost all of the items can be framed.  Click here to see more examples of our custom framed displays.
