sensewich prop

[bobsapainter]

I have a sensewich prop serial no- no650 model 76jr53
spoke with charlie at sensewich he thinks prop was made in 1947-8 but it is stamped on the prop that it was reconditioned on 12/14/1946, by a company called flottorp mnfg co. the serial number is not on their posted list altho the model number shows up and prop was used on sea planes, anyone have an idea when it was really made and if it has any value? I know nothing about props but i would suspect you would not want to use it as is, it appears to be in great shape thanks Bob

That doesn't look like a typical Sensenich serial number, which is usually 4 digits with or without a preceeding letter. If there is no letter prefix, it was made between 1932 and 1942. See this page. The drawing number shows that it was used on a Stinson 108 with a Franklin engine. It came in both land and seaplane models.

Value depends greatly on display condition, as it is almost certainly not airworthy.
