Auction History Result 4t024 WRIGHT BROTHERS signed check 1909 Orville spent $3.05 at the New York Exchange! Date Sold 12/22/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Bank Check (measures 3 1/4" x 8 1/4") (Learn More) Orville and Wilbur Wright (the Wright Brothers) were aviators and inventors in the early 1900s. They were credited with building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered, and sustained heavier-than-air manned flight on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They did not "invent" the airplane, but they made important modifications to what had been previously created. They sold their patents to the Curtiss-Wright company. Wilbur passed away in 1912, and Orville lived until 1948. Important Added Info: Note that this check has been personally autographed (signed) by Orville Wright (an expert on autographs tells us that Orville always signed the checks for both brothers and that he signed "Wright Bros.")! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. There is a circular punch hole at the bottom center (no doubt a cancellation from the bank), and it slightly affects the "h" of "Wright". Learn More about condition grades
