About this Item:

Orville Wright (August 19, 1871 - January 30, 1948), historic American aviation pioneer, along with brother Wilbur, authentic autographed vintage bank check, presented in a custom 18" x 22" frame. The check is dated July 25, 1917. Additionally included in the display is a small fabric section from the brother's "Wright Flyer", used in the historic flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903. The check and fabric section have been uniquely matted into an oversized photograph of the Wright Brothers famous first flight.

Included is provenance that reads: "The relic bears a blue ink notation reading "Fabric from Wright Brothers Kitty Hawk Harvey D. Geyer 3/2/51'. Period typing on the sheet above reads: 'All of the fabric for covering the original Kitty Hawk plane was muslin, purchased from Hunter & Hardy Dry Goods Store E. Third Street, Dayton Ohio, and known as 'Pride of the West' muslin'".

In late 1926, early 1927,Orville Wrightrefurbished the Wright Flyer in preparation for loaning it to the Science Museum in London, where it stayed until 1948. During this refurbishment, the airplane was recovered entirely with new Pride of the West muslin. Harvey D. Geyer was a close friend, associate and employee of the Wright Brothers from 1910 on, and upon the death ofOrville Wrightin 1948, was appointed as the technical advisor to the Wright Estate, so it seems obvious he could easily have obtained a sizable section of the original fabric. This relic was obtained by a prominent New York dealer of Western Americana from George H. Custer Family descendants in the Dayton area.
