I have an Hugo Heine Wooden prop. for sale with following markings:

185 PS

D283

Berlin.

The prop has 8 laminations, an hub of ca. 22 cm ( 8,5 "), a center hole of ca.

Could you inform me for which (Fokker ?) plane this prop. was used and what

Hellow Bob !

Do you have any idee regarding market price of this item ?

Sorry everyone, I have made about five changes to my first reply, to make it more readable.

Ruud (are you Dutch?), I would like to buy your prop as well. Its value at auction is about €2500 Euro, if in good condition.

Please post a photograph of the prop and the data stamped on it.

With kind regards,

Bob

Dave,

I think we should move this thread to 'Early Props' but I've forgotten how to do it!
