VINTAGE ERCO LAMINATED WOOD & BRASS TIPPED AIRPLANE PROPELLER – WWII ERA

A superb vintage , original aircraft propeller mounted on a custom made highly polished aluminium base. A lovely decorative piece.

Each Blade is marked with the company logo that reads “Erco Riverdale Engineering & Research Corporation Compreg”. Blades like this where produced for use with the Hamilton Standard Propeller hub, used in general aviation as well as military trainers and small transport planes. The wooden blades were developed to compensate fort a shortage of aluminium during the war. The blades were carved from an impregnated & compressed laminated block of high density wood called COMPREG.

All of the finish is original with minimal, if any, scratches or dents on the faces or edges. Some of the original “ERCO” logo has worn off.
