Description

Turnbuckle attributed to a Wright Model B biplane, the Wright Brothers' first mass-produced airplane. The piece features an adjustable-length screw with eyelet, ranging from 3.25˝ long to 4.75˝ long. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Nate D. Sanders Auctions, attributing the hardware to the estate of Louis Christman, who worked directly with Orville Wright.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
