Offered in extremely limited quantity – genuine handwriting from President James A. Garfield, authenticated and encapsulated by (BAS) Beckett Authentication Services. Each handwritten word was carefully removed from a handwritten letter Garfield wrote in August of 1876.
Each order will include one Garfield handwriting fragment selected from the dropdown menu. An example of the selection of Garfield words can be seen in the 2nd photo. Each word in the dropdown menu is an actual word handwritten by Garfield. You will receive one authentic piece of Garfield’s penmanship encapsulated by Beckett.
Each encapsulated word was individually removed from an August 20, 1876 letter written by Garfield from the West Philadelphia Depot, where he was en route to Warren, Ohio, referencing his travel plans and correspondence.
Genuine Garfield autograph letters are extremely hard to come by and can fetch thousands of dollars. This encapsulated word offers a rare and affordable opportunity to own an authentic piece of Garfield's handwriting.
The cost of authenticating a single word of Garfield’s handwriting is $100 on Beckett's website.
