Old Wooden propeller identification?

[sonny_tribal]

Hi,
Recently my father-in-law passed away and as I am working on his estate I need to find out about this propeller.
Can anyone out there tell me about this prop and what price I should auction it for?
It is 6 feet long and has 6 holes and the wood is laminated together.
I could not find any markings on it anywhere.
It is in great shape.
many thanks,
Sonny

Without identifying numbers it's just a pretty propeller, probably for a Continental A65 or similar engine used on a variety of aircraft. I'd put an opening bid of $300 on it and then hope that you get more than that, but there's no way of predicting what it would actually sell for.

Found numbers on blade, Yea!

Thanks for all of the help that you have given.

Actually I did find the markings on the blade.
They are as follows:

Model 72C-42
Ser No G7900
Sensenich

I hope that finding the numbers will help track down more information about the propeller.

It's a very commonly found propeller for a 65 hp Continental engine, used on a variety of aircraft like Piper Cubs, Aeroncas, Luscombes, etc.
