A one-page typed letter in German signed by Albert Einstein referring to Sir Isaac Newton; an autograph letter signed twice by General George A. Custer with Battle of Little Big Horn associations; and a crisp sepia-toned photograph of then-President Theodore Roosevelt signed and dedicated to Pope Pius X are just a few of the historically significant items bidders will vie for in University Archives’ online-only Rare Signed Autographs, Manuscripts, Books & Memorabilia auction on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The auction will start promptly at 10:00 am Eastern time. All 549 lots in the catalog are up for viewing and bidding now on the newly redesigned University Archives website – www.UniversityArchives.com – as well as LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Auctionzip.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be taken. “The September 18th auction will feature outstanding historical documents, rare books, celebrity autographs, photographs, original artwork, relics, and sports memorabilia,” said John Reznikoff, the president and owner of University Archives, adding, “U.S. Presidential, Science/Technology, Military, Literature, Sports, and Space/Aviation are the categories to watch in this exciting sale.” Items consigned by the Manuscript Society, from the estate of well-known manuscript dealers Forest G. & Forest H. Sweet and Julia Sweet Newman, will also be featured in the auction. Forest G. Sweet was an early leader of the Manuscript Society as well as a rare book scholar. The proceeds from the purchase of these items will benefit the work of the Manuscript Society. To learn more, and to become a member of the Manuscript Society, visit www.manuscript.org.
