  • ID for Sensenich prop

    I recently inherited a prop that had been sanded down to bare wood. The identification is still mostly visible, but not complete enough for me to readily ID it. The data I have along the blade is A3207 and DES.72 something (either "C" or "G") -50. Along the hub is the marking 4207A and 50.

    Can anyone make sense of this for me? I looked at the identification reference and find 72GK-50, but not just 72G-50 or 72C-50. Are any of the other numbers helpful or meaningful?

    That "K" in the hub designation seems to be included in some other models as well, but I'm not sure what it signifies. I think for purposes of establishing history of past use, as a display propeller, it can probably just be ignored.

      From a Sensenich spec sheet dated 1946, "The second letter (if any) indicates hub dimensions for a particular hub".

      This may apply to some other manufacturers too as some seem to follow Sensenich's design numbering schema.
