Hi, I picked this prop up in an antique store several years ago with plans to refinish and display. Its 54 inches long.The hub is 5 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches thick. The tips appear to be epoxy and fiberglass mesh.I can just barely make out the logo thats written R.G. Mende, and printed Quitman Air. Could you please tell me what this prop might have been used on.This is a great web site.Thankyou.

prop
My dad passed away about 6 years ago. He was quite an airplane enthusiast. He built many custom made propellers and some that were just pretty that he would put a clock in the middle. He also wrote a small self published book on how to make your own propellers. My dad was not a saver and we don't have a copy of this book and we are looking for one. This Christmas my children found a REALLY nice propeller that he made and gave it to me. I was really surprised and very happy to have it. My propeller is is GREAT shape. It is now on my wall as a piece of art.

Christmas surprise!
Hi. Santa brought me an antique propeller for Christmas. Anyone any idea as to what it is? It was picked up from an antique shop in Sanford North Carolina and is now in Surrey UK.
It's 5'0 long.
Merry Christmas!

You'd need the design numbers, which are usually stamped on the hub. Absent those, it's impossible to know what it was for as there are hundreds or even thousands of possibilities. Also, it looks as if the tips have been cut down, which is common on props that have been removed from service because of a prop strike and damage to the tips.
