Who is COLORADO ARTIFACTUAL and just what do we do?

We are rare books and literary first edtions, antique photographs and maps, significant historical documents and scarce  artifacts and many things COLORADO.  But that’s not all.  We specialize in F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway first editions, in original dust jackets, often signed and/or inscribed.  And we’re also  rediscovery and research, authentication and  conservation,  and, ultimately, placement with collectors and institutions.

We buy, research, and resell the things that substantiate what we believe tangibly represents art, history, culture and science.
And the artifacts we provide  evoke a time that has faded from our senses and is now romanticized in our need to acquire. 
Even more scintillating, we offer unique, superb, and wondrous items that can be described with any number of positive adjectives.
