Grandpa started this

Saw this come up for sale on eBay, had to buy it. My grandfather was an inventor and an electrical engineer. He started this company that electrified towns and ships. Smart man, but a poor business one. He lost the company in the 1920s, though it is still in existence today with the same name.
very nice relic
