Large Sopwith Airplane Propeller

This large Sopwith propeller measures 73" x 7" x 3”. The Sopwith was the mainstay fighter-plane of the British and USA air forces in the early 1900s. Brightly painted in various national colors, it ruled the skies for a number of years. Some of the propellers were later supplied by an American propeller maker. Admire the shape and finish of a wood creation that once propelled daring aviators over uncharted landscapes. Feel the smooth, somewhat distressed, honey surface in pine wood. The punched date & serial numbers around the hub. The authentic 1920s manufacturers decal. It has broad bladed propellers tapering to solid center. The tips are painted in contrasting colors. Picture it in a bar or a boy's room, a corner of the living room or a restaurant! A great replica at an even greater price.
