Autograph restoration?

Hello -
Google hasn't helped me with this, so I thought I'd wing it your way.
Is it possible to restore an autograph that's not on paper? I have a little papier-mache (is my best guess as to what it's been made of) box that's been autographed, but the signature's faded almost to the point of being invisible. (It was a bit faded when I got it, signed with a fine-tip pen that was on its last legs.) Would there be any way to repair the autograph? I mean, not myself, but is it something that could be done?

I'm very attached to this piece or else I'd just let it go.

Thanks!

hey Piper...

I know for a fact that there is a chemical that they can put on it to bring back the original markings because us cops use it when we are doing things with evidence and stuff like that in nature. I don't know if it is something you could get your hands on outside of the law enforcement world but I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. If you don't get any help from the autograph collector help addy, maybe try some museums in your area and see what they can recommend that will help you. If they can make graphics from hundreds of years ago reappear, then they have to be able to bring yours back too! Best of luck to ya.
