Welcome to the American Historical Guild.

We are dealers in original signatures, historical letters, and historic documents signed by the most famous people who ever lived. We also deal with signed books, signed photos, and historical newspapers. Each item is a one of a kind original. We have autographs of U.S. Presidents, World Leaders, Military figures, Scientists, Authors, Composers, and many others. 

This listings on our website represent just a small fraction of the historic autographs we have available. We urge you to call us toll-free or e-mail us for additional information on thousands of other rare autograph items. If we don’t have an item, we will search it out for you and notify you when something becomes available. 

We are full time dealers in historical autographs. We do not sell sports or entertainment autographs. Please feel free to call us and ask questions and discuss your personal collecting wishes.

Howard has written articles, lectured at Universities, and shared his knowledge on radio and television programs.
