I have Burgess airplane propeller. It’s 8 foot long and weighs approximately 46 pounds. The widest point on the blades is 11 inches. Stamped on the propeller is 8.0.. – 5.3.., Above that is – 694 –. There is a small circle with a 80 over 4 inside of it. Stamped on the metal hub of the wooden propeller are the numbers 571 2. From what I’m able to obtain from the Internet, Burgess company was in business from approximately 1909 until the factory burned down in 1919 in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Apparently they built for the army, the Navy, and the Wright brothers. If anybody can help me determine which airplane This propeller was on it would make my day. Thanks in advance.
