Offered for the first time ever—genuine handwritten words from Mark Twain, the pen name of American writer and humorist, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, authenticated and encapsulated by Beckett.

A limited edition item from our friends at CutWordCo, this is the first set of Twain words encapsulated by Beckett they've ever offered for sale! Each individual word was carefully removed from an original handwritten letter from Mark Twain.

Don't miss this exceptional chance to own an authentic piece of penmanship from the “Father of American Literature”, and acclaimed author of the literary classics: “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and the “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. 

Each order will include one authentic Mark Twain handwriting fragment selected from the menu. Handwriting is mounted to a custom card from our friends at CutWordCo and set in a standard-sized Beckett holder.

Each encapsulated word was individually removed from an undated letter from Twain on his Riverdale on the Hudson letterhead to a Mr. Seaman declining an invitation, saying that he will “doubtless be on the other side of the world at that time…[or] shall be, if our plans do not fail us.” The Clemens family loved the house at Riverdale (later known as "Wave Hill”). It was an enormous fieldstone, three-story mansion. Genuine Twain handwritten documents can often sell for thousands of dollars.
