Thomas Edison Signed Storage Battery Co. Board Minutes + Charles Edison
1922 THOMAS A. EDISON Signed Edison Storage Battery Co. Board Minutes + Charles Edison
Description
Exceptional original two-page corporate document from the Edison Storage Battery Company dated June 15, 1922, documenting an official Board of Directors meeting held at the company’s principal office in West Orange, New Jersey.
This historic industrial archive contains multiple original ink signatures including:
Thomas Alva Edison
Charles Edison
Stephen B. Mambert
H. F. Miller
J. V. Miller
Henry Lanahan
J. W. Robinson
Frank D. Fagan
The meeting concerns authorization for the purchase of 80,000 pounds of reduced nickel from International Nickel Company for Edison battery production operations — an outstanding piece of early American industrial and technological history.
Thomas Edison signatures on intact historical business documents are far scarcer and more desirable than clipped signatures or checks. This example directly relates to Edison’s revolutionary nickel-iron storage battery enterprise.
