Dear Kind Folks,
We have recently come across 2 Hartzell wooden propellers and wondered if anyone could help us determine value and provide any info.
The props measure approx. 90" long,
The depth of the prop where the shaft is inserted is 6" , they have 8 bolts, and are marked as follows:
Hartzell A.T.C. NO 457
USA OHIO
HP 225
DESIGN C 707 80 (90)
SR NO 3 27 27 and 24 3 83
RPM 2000
Starting at the tips of the wings for about 15" there appears to be some kind of fabric covering the wood. The prop with the labels has small amount of damage, the fabric has lifted a little, and there's a small intact crack in the wood running with the grain. Otherwise just cosmetic wear...scratches and dents....no detrimental or structural damage.
From the best of our knowledge we think these are from a Beechcraft Staggerwing from approx. 1935. Please see attached photo's.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
