Collecting Autographs

It is hard to imagine in this age of facsimile, photocopies and even rubber-stamped signatures that many years ago company officials actually signed the certificates issued by their company. Even the great financial barons like John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, Cornelius Vanderbilt and many others actually penned their signatures to make them legal.

Today, those signatures provide the basis for what is unquestionably the most vital determinant of scarcity, desirability, market value, and overall collectibility—namely autograph appeal. In most cases, famous signatures like those mentioned above are obvious and readily recognizable to the most untrained eye.

A little research into an unknown signature often will reap impressive rewards, as the individual may have been a local or state politician, financier, railroad baron, or military statesman with a rich historical past. Tracing a person’s history is a challenge, and an integral and fascinating attraction of the world of scripophily.

Collectible Eliphalet Remington Autograph

Eliphalet Remington (1793-1861), was born in Suffield, Connecticut. He was a blacksmith and at age 23, he hand-made a revolutionary sporting rifle using a firing mechanism bought from a dealer, producing the barrel himself from scrap iron in his smithing shop

The gun received such an enthusiastic response that Remington decided to manufacture it in quantity, and formed the firm of E. Remington and Sons, which he headed until his death in 1861. What began as a one-man enterprise has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of sporting arms.

By the mid-1800s the gun had become immensely popular with American sportsmen. The company continued to grow and gradually began the manufacture of other goods such as bicycles, burglar alarms, gasoline-powered engines, and typewriters.

The Enola Gay

The Enola Gay is the B-29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb, code-named "Little Boy," to be used in war by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the attack on Hiroshima, Japan on 6 August 1945, just before the end of World War II.

Because of the bomber's role in the atomic bombings of Japan, its name has been synonymous with the controversy over the bombings themselves. The B-29 was named after Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Paul Tibbets.

We have an outstanding print of the Enola Gay with boldly signed autographs of the pilot and Commander-Colonel Paul W. Tibbets, the Navigator-Captain Theodore J. Van Kirk, and the Bombardier-Major Thomas W. Ferebee. Large 18" x 24". Superb and truly outstanding!
