Whenever a mortgage or deed of trust instrument upon real or personal property located in more than one city or county is presented to and accepted for initial recordation in one such city or county, the party by whom it is so presented may deliver to the clerk of such court any number of executed and acknowledged counterparts of such instrument. The clerk shall thereupon fix to each such counterpart his usual certificate of recordation, certifying thereby the payment of the recordation tax levied by the Commonwealth, and shall return to the party presenting the same all such counterparts except one which shall be retained by the clerk for spreading upon the records of his office. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the payment of the recordation tax indicated thereby, and the clerk in any other recording office in any other city or county shall accept for recordation in his office any such counterpart so certified.
