Comments:   This Lang of America propeller was made for the Thomas Morse S4C Scout using the LeRhone 80 HP engine.  It is similar to this propeller except that the hub is recessed to accomodate the LeRhone hub assembly, and the front profile is diamond shaped.  Lang of America typically used a single decal instead of one on each blade.  This propeller is in all original condition with an alligator finish as seen in the decal photo, and a small chip on the trailing edge of one blade, as seen in the front profile photo.  This is the only Lang propeller I've come across that was made for the Thomas Morse Scout and is the only Scout propeller I've seen that has this diamond shaped design, including those seen in various photos of the aircraft.
