Description

Significant 1904 “Wright Cycle” check to the Brothers’ aircraft engine inventor

Winters National Bank check, 8.25 x 2.75, filled out in another hand and signed by Orville Wright, “Wright Cycle Co., O. W.,” payable to C. E. Taylor for $18, December 31, 1904. Endorsed on the reverse by Taylor, who was the designer, engineer, and builder of the first engine used in the Wright Flyer. In fine condition, with a cancellation hole through the signature area.
