About this Item
ORVILLE WRIGHT (1871-1948). Wright, along with his brother Wilbur, were the first to successfully control and fly an airplane in 1903. DS. 1 pg. 4 x 8. February 13, 1934. Dayton, Ohio. A check signed Orville Wright and engrossed in another hand. This document is a Winters National Bank & Trust Co. check signed by Wright to PAY TO THE ORDER OF Chester A. Hayes Treasurer Mongomery County for $633.90. This is most likely a county tax bill, as Dayton is its county seat, and a stamp on the back of the check indicates the money was deposited to the Credit of Montgomery Co., Ohio. The check is punch cancelled, but this neither affects the signature nor its legibility. The check is in excellent condition. Seller Inventory # 6207

Store Description
Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. buys and sells historic letters, documents, manuscripts and archives. My specialties include Presidents, Revolutionary War and Civil War figures, Declaration of Independence Signers, famous authors, important business leaders, notable scientists, aviators, notable women and African-Americans, and other "household famous names." I also enjoy handling the letters and archives of ordinary people whose writings have extraordinary or unusual content, such as an eyewitness description of the Pearl Harbor attack.
I am a member of all major trade organizations, including the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA), the Professional Autograph Dealers Association (PADA), the Appraisers Association of America, the Manuscript Society and the Ephemera Society.
I am located in South Orange, New Jersey, and I travel to many book and manuscript shows every year.
I am one of the very few members of the Appraisers Association of America certified to appraise historic documents, manuscripts and letters. I am USPAP qualified to perform appraisals for estate, donation and insurance purposes; please contact me for a confidential discussion of your appraisal needs.
I am an author myself, having published The Last Leaf: Voices of History's Last-Known Survivors (Prometheus Books, 2010) that contains 39 interviews with the last survivor of, or final eyewitness to, important historical events. Chapters include interviews with the last three Civil War widows, the final living pitcher to surrender a home run to Babe Ruth, Houdini's last stagehand, and the final American doughboy.
Lastly, I can frequently be seen authenticating and appraising on the History Channel hit show Pawn Stars.
