I'm serious. There is a prop for sale on a GoodWill auction site. Will probably go for stupid cheap, because its pick-up only. I'm not sure of the weight, but the bugger is 63 inches long, which is why they are not willing to ship. I had Stewart in MN do something similar for me about a year ago. There would be full payment, of course and extra for time (and pain and suffering.) The true address is :
Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio
3249 Navarre Ave
Oregon, OH 43616
The issue might be that they are open Monday-Friday, but only only 9-4pm.
Toledo is not that far from you... Maybe a grmer could grab it when the auction's over, but then ROAD TRIP!!
I'm near there and come to Gary once a month or so; you buy it I'll pick it up and deliver it most of the way to you
Dude that's beautiful.
Sounds like chandler to the rescue and the problem is already solved, but I'll be in the Toledo area next week and in Chicago Feb 8th. Traveling by planes so I don't think I could get through with a prop as a carry on. I could potentially get it and ship it to you if something doesn't work out with chandler.
In reply to T.J. :
Just tell them it's a spare.
In reply to chandler :
There would be additional HotWheels goodies for you as well if we can pull this off. Is the 9-4 pick up window a problem?
Nah, I can make it work

Just be careful. There are a quite few companies that have made "replica" propellors over the years, so there are a lot of fakes out there. Obviously, there are a bunch of gennie ones, as well.
We sold this one two years ago when we still had our store to a local young lady who would look into our window at it every day as she went to work. We cut her a really good deal on it, since she loved it so much, and her father was a pilot.
I can't tell if the one in your photo is real or not, but just a word to the wise...
Even the fake ones sell for mint around here. That 63 inch prop would push $200, easy.
Chandler, I'll throwyou a text later today.
Your choice.
But I have sold vintage in Chicagoland for decades.
You would be better off getting the real one in Corpus Christi, IMO...
Got my eyes on that one, too.

I have one just like that, around 36" and made by US Propellor. It was either a drone prop or a test club for running on an engine stand. Unfortunately the company is gone and no info available on the internet... but it is going to make a cool ceiling fan someday!
