WW1 Folk Art Wooden Propeller

Comments: This is NOT a propeller used on a Sopwith Camel. It is almost certainly a pre-WW1 propeller that was removed from an aircraft (there are "witness marks" indicating mounting on a hub) and subsequently painted with Sopwith Camel imagery, most likely during WW1. The size, shape, type of wood, hub drilling and general condition are all consistent with a very early usage with an unknown engine, typical of early aircraft development. The tips are hand-painted with equisite detail. Considering its age the propeller is in excellent condition as folk art.

Wood: Likely pine

Length: 5 feet, 6 inches
