Not sure if this is the right spot in the forum - if so, sorry!
I've got a wooden airplane propeller. There are faint markings on it which indicate manufactorers stock number (or something similar regarding it's making).
Does anyone know where I'd take this information to (other than google) to find out particular information about this propeller (when it was made, what type of acft it was made for, was there a specific aircraft it was assembled to, etc)?

Oh, disregard. I think Toad already answered on the other forum. ;) Appreciate it!

Thanks for the link.
I did find the manufactor's marks on the propeller, and was able to go to their site to see if I could match the serial numbers with a table on one of their pages.
Didn't pan out so far, but once I decipher the identifying marks & the table information, I'm sure I will be able to make a match! :)
Here's the marks, which I still have to decipher:
SENSENICH
PO No.1
T.O. No. 586
85R 5 61
CS-S (I think it says that... that line was hard to see)
Nope, I don't have any idea from when. There is a thin metal strip on the leading edge of the props.

It's possible. :)
I was under the impression that the specific numbers used above (and in those search results are length and pitch (e.g. 85 length, 61 pitch)... that would make the serial number one of the other numbers?
I was using this page from the sensenich site:

It gives you the table to match your serial # to when that prop was made. The problem is that I don't see which one of those is the serial #.

The one Lindberg presented :D

:) The reason I'm looking for info on it is:
I'm having it mounted on the wall for one of my kids. If I can figure out when it was made & what types of acft it went on, I know which acft to put "behind" it on the wall.
Originally I was thinking of painting the plane on - mural style. Now I'm thinking that I'll make 3" cut-out in the shape of the front-facing acft & use that board to mount it to lots of studs so it doesn't fall down. =)

No letter prefix would make it prior to 1943
There is a thin metal strip on the leading edge of the props.
like this?

I'm not actually sure how much of the information I pulled off the stamp is correct. It's so very faint - I saw examples of other propellers that had info stamped on the hub in very large lettering.
On this one, it's off to the side of the hub, and all lines (combined) probably only span about 3 inches. So in addition to being extremely faint, they're small.
I did take a picture, but it's on my husband's computer... so I'll post one later (probably next week) after it's transferred from his to mine.

Yep =) Just like that, with the little circle impressions & everything!
-
Nope, those were the only markings on it. There were rectangles on it (about 4 of them, which probably indicate where some sort of decals were at one time (annual registration or inspection maybe?)

I was wrong - one of my kids found an additional number - the serial number - which we used on the sensenich site to determine it was made between Feb 61 & Nov 62. =)
(Yay Snapper for finding the serial #!)
