Comments:  Early British propeller made by Ebora Propeller Company, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey.  Used on a 3 cylinder Anzani radial engine, 28 HP.  Close inspection (not visible in photograph) of the actual surface reveals evidence of hand carving in its manufacture.  Believed to be used on a Bleriot XI monoplane.

Jan Schiere, whose father manufactured Ebora propellers, has kindly sent me this photo of the Ebora factory in the process of producing propellers, probably in the early 1900's.
