Description
Thomas A. Edison Phonograph Works Autographed Stock Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), inventor. In his early years, he was slow in school. In 1879 he made commercially practicable the incandescent lamp. Other inventions included the kinetoscope, ore-mill machinery, the storage battery, and dictating machine. He invented the phonograph, his greatest single achievement from the viewpoint of inventive imagination. In 1888, he founded the "Edison Phonograph Works." Stock dated 1888 signed at front with ink cancellation line, issued to Edison and beautifully signed at back. Includes a modern series of 8 great Edison portraits taken from all periods of his life. Biographical information is included. Rare! Exceptionally nice example! A true classic that would be very special framed with a couple of portraits. Accompanied by COA from PSA/DNA.Auction Info
