Description
The
genius of Thomas Alva Edison is well documented. His
inventions have affected the world profoundly and while
it has been over 100 years since his first patent, our
lives are still touched every day by the fruits of his
labor. This particular invention has given way to
the computer, but in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries, these tickers received signals from exchange
floors, via telegraph lines, and printed the most
accurate quotes available. They are extremely rare as
most of them were simply discarded as old technology or
used office equipment. Today they are seen
as valuable commodities themselves and it is extremely
difficult to find one.
