I'm hoping someone can help with ID on this old prop.
I remember Dave Bahnson telling me years ago not to restore an old prop, but this one had been previously (poorly) refinished. (my Paragon is still original).
The length is 102"
Hub is 8"
Center bore hole 2 1/2"
8 bolts on 5" center
It is stamped DES. H 561 R.H.
NO 11035
It also has a number 83 stamped between two of the bolt holes. I'm also sending a picture of the side of the hub, there are some diagonal nail holes visible. When I bought the prop, it still had one piece of cork caulking nailed there. My guess is that the cork was caulking for a spinner, but this may have been added by someone for display, as there was a plywood backing plate attached as well. Thanks in advance for any help, Dave
