Harrison Ford (perhaps our most celebrated icons in Hollywood & some consider the most famous)
is an American film actor and producer. He is best known for his performances as Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy and as the title character of the Indiana Jones film series. Ford is also known for his roles as Rick Deckard in Blade Runner, John Book in Witness and Jack Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. His four-decade career also includes roles in several other Hollywood blockbusters, including Presumed Innocent, The Fugitive, Air Force One, and What Lies Beneath. At one point, four of the top six box-office hits of all time included one of his roles. Five of his films have been inducted into the National Film Registry. In 1997, Ford was ranked No.1 in Empire's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. As of July 2008,
the United States domestic box office grosses of Ford's films total almost US$3.4 billion, with worldwide grosses
surpassing $6 billion, making Ford the third highest grossing U.S. domestic box-office star. Ford is the husband of actress Calista Flockhart.
AUTOGRAPHS * Setting the
record straight! Harrison Ford is perhaps one of the most sought
after autographs in the world. Yes, he'll stop and sign for fans at some of his rare red carpet appearances, he's
very nice about it! But what if you are not one of the lucky ones to be right there on the red carpet? Mr. Ford is very selective
with the projects he accepts and this includes his agreeing to sign autographs for a very few select companies. Coolwaters
knows there have been fakes made and below is a list of the signings Mr. Ford has participated in recently. The list below
shows signings that Mr. Ford himself approved and agreed to and these companies had express permission to sell these signed
products. If you're not buying from one of these sources you should question what you are buying and from whom!

JULY 19, 2006 THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL! MASTER
REPLICAS FALCON PROP!
This deal was brokered by Coolwaters Productions LLC and was the first time Mr. Ford ever signed officially for a licensed
company. Mr. Ford was so impressed with the prop that Master Replicas had created that he accepted their offer to sign each
and every limited edition plaque. Only 500 were created. Coolwaters was able to secure Mr. Ford's signature on a sample
plaque just 2 days before San Diego Comic Con opened its doors that year. Fans were treated to the announcement that the FALCON
would include a signed FORD plaque. The plaque itself was a prototype but did contain the actual signature of Mr. Ford. The
signing of the plaques took place at Mr. Ford's office shortly after comic con and the prop replica sold out almost immediately.
A portion of the sales of the Falcon prop went to Mr. Ford's charity of choice; CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL. |

OCTOBER 12, 2006 FIRST EVER PRIVATE SIGNING OF
STAR WARS & INDIANA JONES POSTERS!
A deal almost 2 years in the making and it coincided with the Master Replicas signing. Mr. Ford agreed to sign a limited
number of STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES posters for Coolwaters Productions LLC. The posters were all hand signed by Mr. Ford
at his office in Los Angeles and Coolwaters' president Derek Maki was permitted to photograph each pieces being signed
for the certificates of authenticity. The posters ranged from original one sheets from both films to licensed re-prints. Prices
varied based on the value of the movie poster combined with Mr. Ford's authentic signature. The posters sold out almost

APRIL 18, 2008 CINEMAQUETTE SECURES MR. FORD'S
APPROVAL FOR THE BEST INDIANA JONES ITEM EVER CREATED!
After the success of the Master Replicas prop replica what item could have possibly topped it? THIS IS IT! This 1:3 scale
cinemaquette (a unique statue that features a 100% exact likeness of Harrison Ford) of INDIANA JONES. Coolwaters had to pick
up the prototype of this statue in the morning, bring it to Mr. Ford's office and then return the prototype all in a few
hours! Once at the office the piece was set up so that when Mr. Ford arrived he could take a look at it. With bated breath
we waited and he entered the office. He was speechless! Mr. Ford was astonished at how real it was, the life like skin on
the face, the real hair and detailed clothes! Mr. Ford was so blown away that he accepted the proposal to sign the certificate
of authenticity fort this piece! AND today a statue from the final run of the cinemaquetts stands in Mr. Ford's office!
We want to point out that this item comes with a certificate of authenticity that features the APPROVED duplicated signature
of Mr. Ford. This company does NOT claim to offer a hand signed version, they rather offer the certificate featuring Mr. Ford's
signature as his official acceptance of the piece. This is the only licensed product that has this official "seal of
approval" from Mr. Ford himself!
