South Pacific to Western United States, ca. 1935 to 1945, Large and heavy single airplane propeller in a gorgeous dark, highly grained hardwood. Attached to original collar and geared mechanism, this was attached along with one to three additional blades – but most of the Pan Pacific clipper fleet used three propellers per engine. Most likely coming off a radial engine, brass front blade protector held in place with length of smooth rivets. Although this is simply an educated guess (wood experts, please feel free to correct me), this propeller appears to be made of Monkey Wood, a hard, dense wood often used in outdoor applications. Size: 51.7″ L x 9″ W (131.3 cm x 22.9 cm)
Condition: Excellent.
