WWI Nieuport Propeller for Sale. Original Finish

[bondo]

Measures 100" long.

This propeller is from a WWI Nieuport airplane. The Nieuport was a French design and...”was the smallest, fastest rising, and fastest moving bi-plane in the French service. It is a one passenger machine, equipped with one 110 horsepower LeRhone motor, and can travel 150 kilometers per hour.”

The propeller was cut in two after in the 1940’s to be shipped to the USA from France. We have the bolts that holds the propeller tightly together and also a wooden mounting stand.

Also included is a Keystone View Company photograph from that era. It was used in the antique viewers to give the picture a 3D effect. The quoted description above is from the back of the view card.

Please call or email with questions.

Nice looking propeller. It's really a shame they had to cut so many of these in half to transport them.

Eric,

This prop is from a British aircraft not the French Nieuport.

It's from a Bristol Scout c1916 powered by a Gnome Monosoupape engine. The prop is made by the British & Colonial Aeroplane Company in Bristol, England. The diameter is 2550mm and the pitch is 2640mm. This diameter prop was also used by the Sopwith Pup but with a different pitch.

With regards,

Bob

Thanks for the information - I should get your book!!!

Wonderful - thank you for the information. I've just listed it on ebay and have now made the corrections.

Thanks again.

Eric,

Your prop is rarer than a Nieuport prop and possibly more desirable (except of course to a Frenchman!)
