You need to know about this new stock item.
Because I've just taken possession of a poignant collection of letters.
And among the collection is something exceptional.
It's a signed letter from one of the most famous women who ever lived.
A woman who will go down in history as a pioneer.
A woman whose personal memorabilia is not just rising in value. It's rocketing. Recent sales include:
- A suit she once wore: £25,000
- A bottle of Champagne she signed: £45,000
- A statue of her: £210,000
This is a piece of rarity.
Only a handful of letters from this woman have ever come up for sale.
Which means when they do, competition is fierce.
Because every collector of British history has to own one of these.
What am I talking about? Simply this:
A letter written and hand signed by Margaret Thatcher.
Signed by one of the names of the 20th century
I will speak more about its contents in a moment.
But for now, know this.
Few people in the world can say they own a Margaret Thatcher signed letter. You can be one of them.
Look at the black ink signature. So crisp and bold. One of the best Thatchers I've seen.
Why will this letter sell quickly? Indeed, why are Thatcher relics selling so well?
Because Thatcher's place in history is assured.
There's much more I need to show you.
You remember I called this a poignant collection of letters?
I wasn't kidding.
Let me take you back 84 years.
To London on September 7, 1940.
It's late in the afternoon.
When the chilling sound Londoners hoped they'd never hear fills the streets.
The air raid siren.
It's a sound Londoners would hear every day for the next eight months.
The Blitz has begun.
London's searchlights hunt for German bombers during the Blitz

Because Thatcher's place in history is assured.
- In 1979 she became the first female prime minister of a Western nation. Britain had only given women the vote 61 years earlier
- When she rose to power in the 1970s, few women anywhere held top jobs
- Margaret Thatcher arguably did more to change life in Britain than at any time since Cromwell banned Christmas

Londoners have just minutes to take whatever shelter they can find. Mothers and children shiver in Anderson shelters. Department store shoppers huddle in basements. Others take shelter under railway arches.
And how do the authorities know an attack is coming?
Because of the brave and hardy volunteers of the Royal Observer Corps (ROC). A network of men and women who keep a lonely watch over the skies of Britain for an impending attack. From huts in back gardens. From small shelters in fields. They train their eyes skyward. 24 hours a day.

It is a spotter from the Royal Observer Corps who gives the warning to Civil Defence. Who then sound the alarms.
The Royal Observer Corps
The spotters were usually past fighting age. Or those with "reserved occupations" such as teachers, doctors and coal miners.
They saved thousands of lives. Not just in London. But in cities across the UK.
It is a crucial part of Britain's wartime history that deserves better recognition.
This collection gives you the chance to do just that.
It is a collection of 16 tributes to the Royal Observer Corps.
The tributes come from high profile politicians such as Margaret Thatcher, James Callaghan and John Major. As well as WWII heroes.

Ace WWII fighter pilot Johnnie Johnson writes: "The Royal Observer Corps was an integral part of our defence organisation and played a vital part in the waging and winning of the Battle of Britain."
WWII fighter ace Johnnie Johnson has written and signed this letterAuthor Henry Buckton gathered the tributes for inclusion in his 1993 book on the corps, Forewarned is Forearmed. An author-signed copy is included in the collection.
The then prime minister, John Major, writes on 10 Downing Street headed paper:

"The Corps had been an outstanding example of how large numbers of volunteers are prepared to give freely of their time and effort for the good of their fellow-countrymen."
Here's former prime minister Jim Callaghan:

Not only is this collection a superb and well deserved tribute to the ROC. It is also a fascinating insight into famous people's thoughts.
The real people behind the public perception.
None more so than with Margaret Thatcher's letter.
"I will remember the importance of the Royal Observer Corps during the darkest days of the War. Their service to our country and people was an example of all that is best in the British character - invincible and indomitable. I am grateful to have the chance to pay tribute to each and every one of those who served."

Look at the quality of Thatcher's signature
It is Thatcher with her guard down – for once.
Thatcher wrote and signed this letter on June 4, 1992. Just two months after she had stepped down as an MP at the General Election. Just a year and a half earlier she resigned the Tory leadership.
She wrote this letter at a major crossroads in her life.
That adds to the letter's value.
As does the beautiful, stately signature. So black and bold. Full of vigour. Large too.
Letters from Margret Thatcher seldom come to light.
This is a rare chance to own one. And a chance to profit from your passion for collecting.
I'll be blunt.
I don't know what your politics are, and I'm not interested. Because if we're talking simply business, owning this collection makes great sense.
Because Margaret Thatcher artefacts are soaring in value following her death in 2013. As growing numbers of collectors realise her importance to history.
Don't forget.
It's a price that could look small indeed in the decades to come.
Remember.
I'm offering you two terrific pieces in one.
The Thatcher letter forms just a small part of a superb and fascinating tribute to the men and women of the ROC.
People who saved thousands of lives through their hard work and vigilance.
The collection contains letters from some of the biggest wartime names, as well as key politicians.
It is a reminder of the unsung efforts of one of Britain's most important voluntary forces.
Act now.
On its own I would expect the Margaret Thatcher signed letter to sell quickly.
Her growing value, her importance, and the rarity of personal Thatcher letters will ensure that.
Yet combine this letter with the others from famous names. And the historically crucial subject matter. And you have a collection of the utmost importance.
So I simply say to you.
You need to act swiftly to secure this collection.
In fact, you probably need to act now.
