Winters National Bank check, 8.25 x 3, filled out and signed by Wright, “Wright Brothers, W. W.,” payable to cash for $100, December 6, 1909, and endorsed by Wright on the reverse in the same manner. In fine condition, with an expected cancellation hole slightly affecting the top of the “t” in the signature and a couple other unobtrusive cancellation cuts. Wright is rare in any form, and this is an especially desirable variation of his signature. This check also marks one of the most important years in the Wright Brothers’ career—it was in 1909 that they circled the Statue of Liberty, toured Europe, and sold their first aircraft to the US Army.
