Edison family check register, 6.25 x 3, consisting of 50 check stubs indicating the payee, date, and amount, filled out by Thomas Edison and his wife, Mina, between September and November 1886. The first 27 stubs are filled out by Mina, including three made out to herself, signing, “Mina M. Edison.” Thomas filled out the last 23 stubs, though he does not sign any, one is made out to a “Thos.” Two interesting stubs are $25 for “flower show tickets” and $1247.35 for taxes. Accompanied by check “No. 50,” which corresponds with the last stub in the register, an Orange National Bank check, 7.75 x 3, filled out by Thomas Edison and signed by his wife, “Mina M. Edison,” payable to John S. Levis for $91.78, November 15, 1886. In very good condition, with complete separation between the check stub book and covers, rough edges to the stubs where checks were once attached, and covers torn at the right edge to shorten them. Edison had married Mina earlier that year and moved to his famous home ‘Glenmont,’ in West Orange, New Jersey. A truly unique item from the great innovator.
