USA Thomas Alva Edison portrait bronze medal – Electrical Exposition & Motor Show of 1914 New York, New Grand Central Palace.
32mm.
In the early years of motoring electric cars were an important minority of cars on the road.  However the oil industry and Henry Ford’s manufacturing methods meant that 1914 was a pivotal moment when the internal combustion cars were beginning to win out.  The situation is only now being reversed.
