Stone Propeller
Hello,
I am the grandson of the designer and manufacturer of Supreme Propellers and Stone Propellers, Morris J. Stone. My father (William B. Stone) and his four brothers worked with their dad in Wichita Kansas for many years. I have been searching for over 40 years for a wooden propeller from my family's past. I would appreciate it if you would consider returning it to its original family. I will be glad to offer a nice payment.
Thank you in advance of your consideration.
Jeff Stone

Good Morning Jeff,
I was most interested in your pm to me with the information that your grandfather, Morris J. Stone, was a cabinet maker in Manchester, England before he moved his family to the US where he answered an ad to design and build props and then set up the Stone Prop Co.
I am researching British props for the second edition of my book and would love to know more about your British grandfather. It is possible that he might have had previous experience of making props in England before he emigrated.
Can you tell me his address in Manchester or the area where he lived? What date did he emigrate to the States? Do you know if he did any prop work in England before he left?
Even if he didn't, I would like to add a description of him in my book.
With kind regards,
Bob
