An old story : 1905 license UK or US needed
 

Hi,

I am currently writing a long article about the history of ham radio for my
website.
Can someone tell me where I could find an electronic copy of one of the
first ham license ? The oldest was released in UK in 1905 but I am not sure
that someone or rather his grand-grandson kept a copy... ;-)

In in the same context a copy of one of the first US license (1910-1920) 'd
be much appreciated.

Of course any other one (german or french, etc prior 1920) is welcome.

Thanks in advance

For the UK, I'd be inclined to ask the RSGB which has a museum and for
the US, I'd try the ARRL
