Description
Check Signed by Orville Wright dba Wright Brothers. As the Wright brothers ceased making bicycles and focused their attention solely on manned flight, their business name changed from Wright Cycle Company to Wright Brothers. Offered here is one of the earliest Wright Brothers checks, dated March 5, 1908, and made payable to the American Express Company in the amount of $436.50, a hefty sum for the times. A cancellation punch affects the "B" in Brothers, but the check is in overall fine condition and perfect for framing.Auction Info
