    Description

    Selling a beautiful original Erco "Compreg" aircraft propeller. I have 3 of these for sale, from a museum display. This one has the decal. Some dark spots. Still beautiful wood that displays beautifully.  Great condition overall, considering these saw some hard use. A few scratches, as you would expect. Approximately 40" tall.
    For those who do not know, these were manufactured mainly from 1939 until 1945, when war rationing made aluminum scarce. These were made from plastic impregnated wood. They were used on some WW2 trainers, as well as many experimental aircraft, as you could easily change the specifications of the blade during manufacturing without having to retool or make new dies. Production stopped at the close of the war.
    Please see photos for description.
    Buyer responsible for actual shipping charges, these are tall and heavy.
