Bleriot XI - Ebora Propeller for Anzani
c. 1913
Comments: Early British propeller made by Ebora Propeller Company, Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. Used on a 3 cylinder Anzani radial engine, 28 HP. Close inspection (not visible in photograph) of the actual surface reveals evidence of hand carving in its manufacture. Believed to be used on a Bleriot XI monoplane.
Note: This is an original propeller that had been revarnished when I acquired it. I have restored it by gently removing the varnish with solvents and applying hand-rubbed shellac (French polish technique) and applying Ebora decals in the vertical orientation used by that manufacturer.
Wood: Mahogany
Length: 7' 6"
