    TheNational Phonograph Company was incorporated on 27 January 1896. It wasrestructured and reincorporated as Thomas A. Edison, Inc. on 28February 1911.TheEdisonManufacturing Companybecame a division of the company at thistime.Thecompany had an industrial research laboratory inWestOrange, New Jerseywhereup to 200 people were employed in the \"rapid and cheap development ofinventions.\"FrankL. Dyer was president until December 1912, when Thomas Edison took overthe position himself. C.H. Wilson, general manager, was also vicepresident from 1912. Edison resigned as president in August 1926 infavor of his son,CharlesEdison, and became chairman of the board.

    Thecompany had divisions handling different products such as phonographs,Ediphone and storage batteries. One of the first products wereBlueAmbersolcylindersand the Amberola player, an early sound recording medium and player.This was followed by theEdisonDiamond Disc. In 1915 the sopranoAnnaCaseandcontralto Christine Miller showed in a tone test at the West Orange labthat there was no difference between their live voices and Diamond Discrecordings of their voices.OtherEdison companies were absorbed in the years that followed, includingEdison Phonograph Works (28 August 1924),EdisonStorage Battery Company(30June 1932) and Emark Battery Corporation (30 December 1933).

    In the 1920s the recordingcompany began to lag in technical innovation, and also failed toattract recording stars of the same quality as its rivalsVictorandColumbia. An attempt to market a longplaying record in 1926 did not succeed. In 1928 the company finallymoved into radio with the purchase of the Splitdorf Radio Corp. On 1November 1929 Edison halted production of records apart from dictationrecords made by the Voicewriter division.In the late 1920s the\"Edicraft\" line of high-quality consumer appliances was developed atthe laboratory and manufactured by Thomas A. Edison, Inc. Production ofappliances was discontinued in 1934 due to lack of demand for luxurygoods during theGreatDepression.

    Please note: We put up a very ecclectic collection of items and are not experts in every area,
    so descriptions are our best guess as to what something is. While we try to research each item to the
    best of our ability, it is the buyer\'s responsibility to know what they are buying.

    TERMS OF SERVICE

    is ALL we do for a living, husband and wife (Norb & Marie) working together, while we home school our kids on our farmette in Rural Delmarva. We have worked very hard to build our little business and it is very important to us. We try and do business the old fashioned way and have a rather simple outlook.

    Treat all of your customers as if they are family.

    Be courteous, answer emails, be fair in all your deallings and try and make friends of each and every customer.

    BUT... with \'s new star rating and the rate increases in the U.S. Postal rates we needed to define and explain our methods of business.

    ONE - Who We Deal With

    We sell and ship world wide to anywhere, so please email us for a quote to wherever you happen to be.

    TWO - Shipping Charges

    We charge shipping based on the USPS system, we will sometimes ship via courier if we can get it to you within the same time frame or faster. We add a reasonable cost for materials, normally that is $2.00 for regular sized packages. For small flat items $1.00. That covers the expense of boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap, peanuts, (We only use new packing materials, life is too short to scrounge through dumpsters). For larger items that take a larger more expensive box, we charge a little more, to cover the special box, example paintings or lamps. For oversized items or items that will take special attention to package, (Build a crate, wrap a zillion things individually, etc.), we ask you to email us for a quote on shipping prior to the sale ending. If you do not, we charge the same amount as if you did. In other words WE NEVER GOUGE OUR CLIENTS SHIPPING COSTS!!

    THREE - International Shipping

    We charge shipping based on the USPS international system. The rates follow the same guidelines as number two above, though for international customers we add an additional $1.00 to cover the extra paperwork involved in international shipping. If an amount goes over $50 in value we will only ship it with Priority or Express Mail, regardless how small an item. That allows for us to have international tracking. There is no tracking available on First Class Mail.

    FOUR - Insurance

    \'s policies no longer allows us to charge the client for insurance. But... we still apply insurance to any item that goes over $27.00 in value. We reserve the right to use the insurance carrier of our choice. Sometimes that is Postal or the Carrier\'s Insurance and sometimes that is a private insurance company such as DSI or U-PIC/Shipsurance. If we use a private insurance company the package will not be marked insured, but it will be.

    FIVE - Methods of Payment Accepted

    We aoffere by \'s rules and try and stay abreast of their changes. We accept Paypal. Paypal also accepts the major credit cards, or we also take Credit Cards Directly over the phone, (MC, VISA, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS, CARTE BLANCHE, DINERS CLUB, JCB) Bottom line, whatever method is most convenient for you.

    SIX - Time Frame To Pay

    We ask all sales to be paid for in the fastest possible time frame. (This is all we do for a living and we need the money to pay the bills and buy more unique and fun items to put up on )

    SEVEN - Shipping Time Frame

    We make every effort to ship in a timely manner. We are home schooling the boys, listing tons of items, and as like any of us are just plain swamped, so we have to schedule a special time to pack and ship. We ship on a first paid, first shipped basis. (We do not ship any item until it has been paid and the funds have cleared.) With the ebb and flow of payments we manage to get everything out of the door within one week. If there is a rush, we will make every effort to work with you in getting it out of the door faster. As you can see from our response, we do not disappoint. OF COURSE, items that need special attention, crating, etc adds to the time frame of those items.

    EIGHT - Local Pickup

    Sometimes it makes sense to come by and pickup your items. Sometimes an item is just too big for any other option. If you\'ve arranged local pickup with us, you must pickup the item within 30 days otherwise it will be subject to storage fees or relisting.

    Finally, NINE - Communication

    Please feel free to contact us at anytime, with any question or comment. Unless we are out of town we make an effort to answer all emails as quickly as possible.
