Offered for the first time in an extremely limited quantity – genuine handwriting from legendary Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit author J. R. R. Tolkien, authenticated and encapsulated by (BAS) Beckett Authentication Services. Each handwritten word was carefully removed from a handwritten letter Tolkien wrote in September 1968.
Each order will include one Tolkien handwriting fragment selected from the dropdown menu. An example of the selection of Tolkien words can be seen in the 2nd photo. Each word in the dropdown menu is an actual word handwritten by Tolkien. You will receive one authentic piece of Tolkien's penmanship encapsulated by Beckett.
Each encapsulated word was individually removed from a September 25, 1968 letter written by Tolkien from Oxford to Messrs Maple & Co. of Bournemouth concerning household furnishings and payments.
Genuine Tolkien autograph letters are extremely hard to come by and typically sell for tens of thousands of dollars. This encapsulated word offers a rare and affordable opportunity to own an authentic piece of Tolkien's handwriting.
The cost of authenticating a single word of Tolkien’s handwriting is $100 on Beckett's website.
