Sensenich propeller

[jackpurl]

This is my first post on this excessively complex web site -- I hope I get it right.

I have a Sensenich wooden propeller I would like to get rid of -- not throw it in the trash. The only thing I know about it is that my Dad said it came from a Navy training plane he flew about 1940. Two blades, about 6' long, metal edging on the tips, Sensenich Bros decal on the blades. I don't see a serial number, but I don't know where to look.

Help.

On the hub (the center section between the blades) or on a blade very near the hub should be a design number (abbreviated DES) should be stamped. Also a serial number. Using the design number, hopefully you can determine its usage here: http://www.modernwoodenpropellers.com/sensenich.htm and using the serial number determine its approximate manufacturing date here: http://woodenpropeller.com/Sensenichdates.pdf.

In order to successfully sell it I suggest uploading very good pictures clearly in focus, a description of the condition and your location.

here's the model/serial number data: Model 82RS72 Serial C-9127 HP 200 RPM 2450 8 bolt holes in the hub

The propeller is in good condition -- good, but not great. There are no dings, dents or cracks -- but there's a bit of dirt on it and the metal edging is tarnished (not rusted)

Does this help identify this propeller and give some value for it??

Condition is very important. I would suggest you search and watch eBay completed auctions for prices actually realized on props most like yours. Asking prices are useless and frequently beyond reality.
