48" propeller info question

Aerial Propeller Company Wooden Propeller, Model 48.A2.72, Serial No. 0826712

Looking for any information on this propeller. Age? Value?

It has 6 holes

Probably a UAV prop based on its size. Do you have a photo?

[amyp9569]

No I dont have a photo. Dont really know anything about it, wanting to get rid of it but making sure I am not donating something worth any value!

[Dbahnson]

A propeller of that size and with those stampings would almost certainly not have been used on a certificated airplane. An ultralight is another possibility, but without seeing it it's hard to be sure of its value.

Having decals and original finish helps the value of a propeller in any category.

I uploaded a picture!

Ah! I think that's either an airboat or a snow sleigh propeller. While not highly collectible, it might sell for a few hundred dollars on eBay. (Unfortunately, people often pay more than they should because they think it's an aircraft propeller.)
