Lyman Hall Autograph
A Lyman Hall autograph is one of the rarest autographs of any signer of the Declaration of Independence. Plenty of signers went on to prominent government positions where they autographed lots of items, from documents to letters. A Lyman Hall autograph is more valuable than most because he probably didn’t autograph many items and his items certainly have not been kept over the years. The rarest Declaration of Independence signer, Button Gwinnett, is also from the same state as Lyman Hall, which is Georgia, so it probably shows that 18th century Georgia did not save material like other states. Here are the rare Lyman Hall autograph items that we at NateDSanders.com Auctions have sold:
