Please contact us by phone or our email address if you have questions about anything that you see on the site or if you are interested in purchasing an item. These are unique historical documents and photographs.  They cannot be duplicated once they have been sold! Do not hesitate to phone or email for availability of other autographs or for your specific interests.  Please note: All Items are subject to prior sale.   Does The Inkwell Autograph Gallery maintain a physical storefront in addition to the website? No, after 13 years we decided to close our retail store located in Gettysburg at the end of 2008 to focus exclusively on expanding and improving our internet operation.  The Inkwell Autograph Gallery is well known for selling high quality authentic autographs. You can buy with complete confidence.   How do I know that the autograph that I am interested in is authentic? The sale of forged autographs is a continuing problem in this industry. The Inkwell Autograph Gallery goes to great lengths to ensure that the only merchandise we sell is authentic. We stand behind our autographs 100%! Find out more about our certification here.     How does The Inkwell Autograph Gallery arrive at the prices for the items it sells? Many factors are involved in the pricing of an autograph such as demand, content, and condition.   Prices are subject to change without notice.   Are all of the items framed? Most items are museum-quality conservation framed with an image of the signer.  This process preserves the autograph and presents it as an impressive piece of art. Acid-free, pH neutral materials are used for matting, archival mylar "encapsulates" each autograph (this process is totally non-destructive and reversible if so desired).  Plexiglass is used instead of glass because it filters out 95%-98% of harmful ultraviolet rays. We also offer a selection of unframed, shrink-wrapped, conservation matted items that include a photo. BREAKING NEWS!!!   After being one of the longest established retail galleries in the autograph business we have decided to close the retail gallery as of 12/31/2008 to concentrate on enhancing and expanding our Internet operation.  The reasoning behind this decision is that the vast majority of autograph collectors now build their collections via the Internet.  We have seen this trend become more pronounced every year and now the majority of our business comes from clients who have never set foot in Gettysburg.  We believe this trend will continue and want to devote our full time and resources in this direction.  To our loyal clients, even though we won't see you in person as much as we would like, you can be assured that The Inkwell Gallery is strong and will be around for many years to help you build your autograph collections and answer your questions.  Thank you all so much and we look forward to doing business with you for many years to come.
