Maine, 10 Shares, I/U, Black on green underprint, allegorical woman and cherub at left, Signed by Lee DeForest as president, VF to XF condition. Rare stock certificate signed by De Forest. NYBNC. *Lee de Forest was an American inventor, self-described "Father of Radio", and a pioneer in the development of sound-on-film recording used for motion pictures. He had over 180 patents, but also a tumultuous career„he boasted that he made, then lost, four fortunes. He was also involved in several major patent lawsuits, spent a substantial part of his income on legal bills, and was even tried (and acquitted) for mail fraud. His most famous invention, in 1906, was the three-element "grid Audion", which, although he had only a limited understanding of how it worked, provided the foundation for the development of vacuum tube technology.
