So I came across a couple Bronze 11 x 13 props while at an estate sale a while back. I've had them sitting in my basement on my workbench for a while. I was planning on using one of them for my own build and selling the other.
However, life being what it is we were thrown a curve and blessed with a surprise 3rd child. (7 months old now) and we have found ourselves needing to move to a larger home. Obviously this has put any thoughts of boat building out of reach for a while. So I'm considering selling both props.
Both are bronze, one is absolutely 11 x 13 (stamped on the hub), is in pretty good shape (a couple blade nicks, nothing significant) and has a partial coat of "Battleship Grey" paint. The other appears to be the same size or slightly smaller, (differently shaped blades. More rounded.) but is covered with barnacle marks and a layer of blue-green corrosion, so it's hard to tell the exact size. But with some elbow grease and a light grit grinder I'm sure it would look like new in no time.
If there is any interest I can put up some pictures. Honestly I don't even know what I should be asking for them. Are these even suitable for steam use, or would they be better suited for just hanging on the wall? I know this is sort of an odd post to put up in the sale/trade section, but since I am at least somewhat interested in selling them, it seemed appropriate.
I'll try and put some photos up later today, or upload them to photobucket and link them.
