Jockey Autograph - Fred Archer - Value?
This is a little outside my realm, but I bought an old British autograph book a while back that includes a range of autographs from the 1880's through the early 1930's. The book was falling to pieces but was one that was bound by the collector from various articles signed over the years, many pasted in and some letters cut to conform to the size of the book.
The book itself included mostly old stage actors and some lesser local politicians and musicians but was pretty neat to go through. Inside the book was a little autograph clipping of Fred Archer with a thin tissue-like sheet adhered above it. I would have had no idea who it was if not for the name being written on the tissue above it. Now, I imagine this is quite rare as I can't find another exemplar - but I'm not sure how big the market is for jockey autographs. It seems this guy was one of the best of his time and passed away very young in 1886.
Any idea what this might be worth?
Thanks again
