Churchill, Roosevelt Relics Among Lansdale-Area Auctioneer's Treasures

BY RANAE GABEL

Napoleon, Theodore Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, Buffalo Bill Cody, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Enrico Caruso, Connie Mack, Charles Dickens, P.T. Barnum, and Louisa May Alcott all hold some importance in the history of the world.

Their letters and autographs are valuable to the collector and the student of history. On December 9, 2015 the Alderfer Auction Company will offer at auction an important collection of autographs, letters, historical documents and important ephemera as part of a “Legacy Auction – Rare & Important Autographs and Historical Documents” to be held in Hatfield, Pennsylvania.

Many of these important autographs and documents were amassed by a selective collector in the 1970’s and 1980’s and some have been removed from the collecting community for over 40 years. This collector chose many historically significant pieces to add to his collection and Alderfer’s is now tasked with presenting this collection to the interested public.

Other materials in this auction have languished in trunks and boxes and attics of the original familial owners and are now seeing the light of day for the first time in many decades.

This auction is an opportunity for the collector, investor, or the student of history to purchase these rare and historical autographs.
