Thomas Edison Signs a Deed Five Times

THOMAS ALVA EDISON & MINA EDISON, American Inventor and Businessman and His Wife.
Partially printed Document Signed, “Thomas A. Edison” and “Mina M. Edison”, in green ink, on fine-laid paper, dated March 28, 1900, Essex County, New Jersey, 14” x 8.25” 3 pages, Choice Extremely Fine. Document with normal wear and folds, not affecting the signatures. A New Jersey Warranty Deed making a contract “...Between Thomas A. Edison and Mina M. Edison, his wife... of the first part: And John H. Breakenridge and Halsey T. Tichenor of the City of Newark... of the second part...” Edison and his wife, who both signed in green ink, conveyed property in Essex County to the two men mentioned for one dollar. The property, which ran along Belmont Avenue, is described in detail. On the third page appear four tax stamps with four additional signatures of Edison, “TAE” on each, canceling them, thus making this an unusual document signed five times by Edison, who is considered one of the most prolific inventors of his time, holding a record 1,093 patents in his name.
