Thank you so much for the information! I was doing a bit of reading on the site and found this tidbit. "Among famous exhibits were the original Edison Electric light dynamo, the "X" Ray, a historical exhibit of the telephone, showing its development from the first device from the experimental stage down to present efficient appliances, a similar exhibit of telegraphy, a form of deep sea communication, the improved system of underground wiring, the application of electric heat and power, and devices for controlling and measuring electricity." Definitely seems like a historically significant piece, especially considering the company it was awarded to (and the fact they're still around!). Thank you very much!

I have been trying to identify exactly what I have here, it's pupose, rarity, value, etc for quite some time. It had great significance to my grandfather, and was given to me after his passing. I have yet to find any solid information regarding it so I am asking for your assistance. What is the history behind the piece? What is the significance of the Edison Company being engraved on it? And finally, is this something that should be in my safe deposit box or something I can keep around the house? Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this.
