Sopwith 47" Pine Propeller

Mechanics, pilots and flight-crew transformed propellers into memorabilia. Old ones were usually taken home, completed with a clock, and hung over the mantel. A continuation of a flight-tradition.

• 47.25" L x 2.75" W x 5.5" H, Honey, Black & Yellow/Distressed French finish

The Sopwith was the mainstay fighter-plane of the British and USA air forces in the early 1900's. Brightly painted in various national colors, it ruled the skies for a number of years. Some of the propellers were later suppled 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. The punched serial numbers around the hub. The authentic 1030's maker�s decal. Picture it in a bar or a boy�s room, a corner of the living room or a restaurant!
