1946 Orville Wright Signed Check PSA/DNA GEM MINT 10

Bank check dated March 14, 1946, and signed by Orville Wright (1871-1948), in black fountain pen. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, with the signature graded GEM MINT 10. The check, drawn on The Winters National Bank and Trust Company of Dayton, Ohio, is made out to "Mabel Beck" in the amount of $55.54 and has been endorsed by Beck on the reverse. Brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright built and flew the first manned, motor-powered heavier-than-air craft. The first flight, with Orville at the controls, took place at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. The success of that flight paved the way for the development of larger and heavier planes shortly after. The check (8.75 x 3 inches) has normal bank cancellation stamps and perforations (not affecting the signature), as well as three vertical folds and minor wrinkles. In Very Good condition overall.
