Original Paragon for Curtiss JN4C - OX5 Engine |
Markings: 8'-3"x 5.00 Right Hand 1779 6487 |
This Paragon propeller for the Curtiss JN4C is in original condition, with clear
evidence of former usage, including damage to both tips which appears to be the
result of contact with a wire, perhaps a fence. There is also identation
in the hub indicating the installation of a pressure plate for use on the OX5
engine. This propeller was likely damaged then removed as non-airworthy,
but has been well preserved with original varnish in good condition, and original
decals in good to excellent condition (one blotch of paint on one decal).
Depending on your point of view, the "damage" at the tips actually adds to
the value of the piece as a collectible, since it was acquired during actual intended
use on the designated aircraft. Wood: Oak Length: 8 feet, 3 inches |
