Remember, the auction is authentic, but that says nothing about the authenticity of the item.

They always have a very carefully "drawn" look to them. I get the same impression from this so called autograph. You feel it does not seem to be signed with Edison's usual care, yet I feel it was written very carefully, a dead give away. I hope this made sense. In short, I think it is a fake.

The Mr. Edison signed 4.5 by 5.5 page is in excellent condition. Edison was the genius inventor of the electrical age, a man whose hundreds of inventions made him a public giant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among Edison's most famous inventions are the light bulb, the phonograph and the stock ticker; he also helped refine and develop other inventions like motion pictures and the typewriter. By the end of his life Edison had registered 1093 patents and had made millions from his inventions and the businesses he built on them. He is especially known for his work with electricity, and the story of his struggles to find the right filament for the first working lightbulb are legendary. Edison's labs were located in Menlo Park, New Jersey, leading to his nickname: "The Wizard of Menlo Park." Edison is also famous for being a dogged worker: he often slept no more than four hours per night and made the famous statement, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
