- Prospector's Claim Stake, Used near Battle Lake, Wyoming, 1880-1910 - This prospector's cedar stake was used on a mining claim near a "Lake Edison" in Wyoming. This is the site where Thomas Edison allegedly conceived the idea for the incandescent lamp. The donor retrieved the stake several decades after Edison's encampment, noting that sand-laden winds blowing from the West had eroded only one side of the stake.
