For Sale:Thomas Edison Signed Check *for budget minded $95

Post by Let Us Not Forget »

This check is hand signed by Thomas Alva Edison. It was issued in 1924 by Thomas A Edison, Inc. This is one way to obtain a real Edison signature on a budget. Obviously, the piece removed from his signature to signify the check was cancelled did a number on the autograph. The reverse also bears an Edison signature but it could be that of his son, Charles.

Price is now $95 shipped in the United States. Payment by PayPal, check or money order. Please email or message me if interested.

Was ripping holes in the check an accepted method of cancellation back then?

Yes, although it was more common to cut an "x" through the signature or sometimes punch holes in it. This one did more damage than most hence the cheap price!
