Looking for the next big thing to add to your memorabilia collection? Well, this is it! Thomas Alva Edison & William H. Meadowcroft hand signed & handwritten 5" x 8" letter custom framed!! This is a very rare signed document of the inventor of the lightbulb as it in an internal document from Edison at his time at General Electric, the company he founded. It is an amazing letter as Edison is telling Meadowcroft to fire someone because "he is no chemist at all" which is super cool coming from one of the most famous inventors ever who is credited with a record 1093 patents in his lifetime!!

This letter was obtained (After being passed down many years) From the family of William Henry Meadowcroft, Edison's famous personal assistant & vice president of his General Electric company. In addition, William H. Meadowcroft responded to this letter & signed it at the top right !!! Meadowcroft hand wrote: "George Meisler, do you attend to this? " then he signed it right after a dated it 1/13/18 (1918). Meadowcroft is also an accomplished author and credited as the man who kept Edison's works & inventions under wraps from the public until it was time to notify the public.

These documents very rarely come to surface in the general public as the most common Edison letters you see are ones that are typed on a typewriter with a small drawn out signature. This letter is an actual letter Edison hand wrote himself in full and intended for his vice president / Assistant:

The letter reads:

"Meadowcroft
tell the proper man to 
let knight the 
chemist I look on 
lately, go. He is no 
chemist at all"

-(Hand signed) Edison

This letter is dated in the upper right-hand corner by William H. Meadowcroft "1/13/18" (1918) & then handwritten out by him at the top right "George Meisler, do you attend to this? " then he signed it right after. 

This letter is over 100 years old!!!

For those that may not know, this is an amazing Thomas Edison signature and one of the best you will ever find out there of him as he wrote a large signature and spelled out clearly. Edison's signature historically is all over the place as he would write a signature that was a "T & E" written together that looked almost like a symbol/Logo or might just write one initial of his name. He never really had a consistent signature on any internal documents of his they were always all over the place so this is an amazing signature of his, do your research, and you will see! This is a must-have item for serious collectors of rare documents and Thomas Edison items!! We have another Thomas Edison signature available in our store here on eBay and our website (Google search: Inscriptagraphs) Which is professionally custom framed and also another beauty! Make sure you follow us as a favorite seller of yours for future rare autographs of inventors!
