Recently found an old prop at a flea market with the following markings:
No.84908 PLNE S.4C. Standing R.P.M. 1210 ENG. Le Rhone Part No. 13631
B.A.P. It has an oval decal on the right blade stating (HARDMAN) in the upper portion and on the bottom (Hardman Peck & Co. New York). The cloth covering on the right blade extreme tip has separated from the prop. The prop has a clock within the hub. Unfortunately whoever placed it there did a little carving to get the clock in place. Otherwise the prop looks to be in great shape. Looked so good to me that I had to have it! From my research I believe it's from a Thomas Morse Scout. I wish I could include the digital photos I have of the prop but the posting procedures seem to be a bit beyond my techno accumen. What I'd like to know Dave is 1. Can the separated cloth be redoped to the prop and 2. the hub restored, both without aversely affecting the value of this prop? [/b]
