Hello,
My possible FUTURE father in-law asked me to find out some information on an old wooden propeller that he owns. He knows nothing about the item so he put me on the case. Unfortunately, I have found little information on his propeller. I even used this website's identification guidelines and was unsuccessful. So if anyone on this message board could offer some advice I would be greatly appreciated. I could really use the brownie points!!
The propeller is approximately 8 feet long.
The wood is light in color.
Each edge of each blade is covered with a brass coating.
There are 6 bolt holes. There appears to be a additional 6 bolt holes that were filled in or covered up.
There are no manufacturing name on the propeller.
The only design numbers are; sequences of “139”, “315”,“25” the individual numbers of 1 and 2.
The letter R is located on each blade. It seems to be painted on not stamped or engraved into the wood.
A small piece of the blade appeared to have be cut out and then refilled with a different color/type wood.
Thanks for the Help!
Will post Pictures soon!! Still new to message board!!!
