Hi folks,
I recently purchased this prop for office decoration, thinking from the crappy pics in the ad that it was just something someone had made and not a real prop, however I'm not so sure anymore. I don't really care about value since I'll keep it for decoration anyways, but if there's any possible info I can gather then I'm all ears.
I have spent a few days searching on the web and the closest thing I could find was here, hence my new account. The shape looks a lot like this one :
http://woodenpropeller.com/Paragon1912.html
This would also make sense since it seems from the wikipedia article that this manufacturer shipped a lot of props to Canada in the beginning of the century (it was found in eastern Canada).
However there are no markings or decals of any kind to help us.
Here are some basic specs:
- Diameter : exactly 6ft. (if the end wasn't chipped that is)
- Weight : Very light, maybe 10 lbs.
- Thickness : 2.5in. (at the hub)
- 4 Bolts
- Each bolt hole is exactly 2 in. from the center.
- It was apparently made from 2 halves (in thickness), you can see it clearly in the chipped part.
- The end was probably chipped a long time ago, seeing that the wood inside is all grey and rounded.
I have uploaded the pics here for better quality :

Many thanks!
