Now that you reminded me I believe the Limited Edition (To 250)  White Bronze
#102 has his signature scribed on.
I'll have to dig it out and check.

There's a reason that boxes and wrappings and literature are called 'ephemera.'

In a century, it wouldn't surprise me if an original box doubled the value of
the plane.

And a box with a signature!? Woohoo . . . !

 I still feel like the new guy on The Porch compared to many. However, I do
remember the days when Tom would sign his planes if you asked. I recently
bought a collection that had a bunch of the old white boxed L-N tools, most  of
which were signed which is what made me remember this. I also remember  when Tom
would regularly visit the Woodcraft in Norwalk, CT to show off the  new tools
they were making. Thinking about it, that was 20+ years ago. wow.
