Fine Autographs and Artifacts

Auction Details

RR Auction’s September Fine Autographs and Artifacts sale boasts an extraordinary selection of over 900 items, with a special focus on Hollywood, classical music, and icons of history. Among the Hollywood rarities represented are horror heroes Edward Van Sloan, Tod Browning, Ed Wood, James Whale, and Rondo Hatton, plus icons like Marilyn Monroe, Alfred Hitchcock, John Wayne, and the Marx Brothers. Perhaps even more remarkable are the exceedingly rare autographs of three great composers—Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Joseph Haydn. The auction is rounded out by unseen photos of Elon Musk, a handwritten letter by 16-year-old Napoleon Bonaparte, and autographs of Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin. RR Auction is a globally recognized and trusted auction house specializing in historical autographs and artifacts. Join us as we make history selling history in September 2022.
