I just listed a very unusual item from my collection on Ebay:

It's a certificate that the Edison company used to reward referrals for a phonograph purchase. You could redeem the certificate at your Edison dealer and select 6 free special amberol cylinders from a group of 24. Charles Gregory described the program in a "In The Groove" article in Dec. 2004. A picture of my certificate accompanied the article.

I also am selling a rare Edison Phonograph Works stock certificate from 1888:
