  • Propeller Identification

    This has been hanging in my family's restaurant for longer then anyone can remember so it's in some rough shape. It's been abused by years of smoking and is extremely dirty. I've looked through the identification pages and I can't seem to find out what type this is, though I do think it is an early type, please move the post if you don't agree.

    Some measurements are:

    Bolt holes: 1/2"
    Bolt hole circle:6 11/16"
    Hub: 7"
    Length 8'4"

    Here are a few pictures to go along:





    Let me know if you need anything else picture or measurement wise. Thank you for any help you can give.

    There are stampings around the hub that might identify it. You might need to use a magnifying glass and hold the light at an angle to be able to read them. Sometimes rubbing the area with linseed oil will help as well.

      The prop has a German look to it and is probably made from laminations of mahogany and ash or elm. I don't recognise the makers decal. I would much appreciate some details of what those letters are stamped on the hub. I'm trying to put a book together on WWI props and yours might be one that I haven't come across before. What country are you in?

      With regards,

        Has the tip of the prop been cut off and stuck back on again? That too has the look of German de-commissioning in 1919.
