On the 24th of January 1965...
Winston Churchill died at the age of 90.
He lived one of the greatest lives of the 20th century.
His state funeral was the largest in British history, attended by 112 countries and the Queen herself.
A fitting tribute to a man who led the nation through its darkest hours.
But aside from the pomp and ceremony was a simple handwritten note.
Placed at his graveside by a grieving WWII soldier. It read:
"By your death, we have been impoverished, but your noble life has enriched mankind for all time."
It was a sentiment felt the world over. And it still is today.
Collected around the world.
No figure in British history is as collectible as Churchill.
He's the nation's most iconic Prime Minister.
And he's internationally admired for the role he played in WWII.
That global appeal ensures his memorabilia is always in strong demand.
From his paintings to his half-smoked cigars, everything he touched is considered valuable.
(Last week a set of his false teeth were valued at up to $10,000!)
So if you collect historic autographs, Churchill is a key name to own.
And a signed letter is the best place to start.
The most desirable are those dating from the 1940s - the decade in which Churchill became a major player on the world stage.
And fortunately, I have this single one available.
An invitation you can't turn down.
Signed and dated February 29, 1948.
Just three years after he led Britain and the Allies to victory in WWII.
The letter typed on a single sheet of Churchill's personal stationary, bearing his home address of 28 Hyde Park Gate, London.
It measures 20cm x 13.5cm, and presents in good condition with its original mailing fold.
It's an invitation to one of Churchill's legendary lunches, which were always filled with fine food, good brandy and endless cigars.
(The recipient of this letter, fellow politician Hugh Fraser, surely returned with some excellent stories and a sore head...)
And below is Churchill's signature, signed crisply in black fountain pen.
Bold. Clear. Unfaded.
A perfect example for your autograph collection.
Highly valuable. Increasingly rare.
Collectors are acquiring them as long-term investments, and they're being taken off the market for the foreseeable future.
They're holding onto them for generations, rather than years.
It's easy to understand why.
Churchill's legacy is set in stone.
And historic data from the past 25 years shows the value of his signature is growing at an average rate of 12% per annum.
It's a very handy asset to have up your sleeve.
And a nice heirloom to pass down to your family.
That's why letters like this are becoming harder to source.
So if you're serious about history and you don't already own a good Winston Churchill autograph...
I suggest you get your hands on one today.
Whilst you still have the chance...
