Wright Cycle Co. check dated December 26, 1907, made out and signed "Wright Cycle Co., o. w." by Orville Wright, co-inventor of the airplane. Payable to the Wright Brothers' sister, Katherine Wright. Along with younger brother Lorin, she managed the day-to-day business affairs of the Wright Cycle Company. This is a very rare example of the Wright Brothers' Bicycle Company account, entirely in the hand of Orville Wright, and is one of only a handful of these documents in private hands. A rare artifact from the bicycle shop that changed the world.
