Part of Tesla's legacy

1951
After the death of Nikola Tesla in January 1943, all his legacy belonged to his nephew Sava Kosanović by the decision of the American authorities. Sava was then a member of the Government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in exile in New York. After his death, all of Nikola Tesla's property was transferred from the New Yorker Hotel to the warehouses and warehouses of Manhattan, where Tesla kept some of his belongings while he was still alive. The items arrived in them. They were placed in a warehouse that Tesla used in New York and when Sava Kosanović transferred the legacy.
