The positive identification of wooden aircraft propellers can be frustrating, time consuming, and often very difficult. Positive identification of usage is made by correlation with a drawing number (also called design number, serie no., etc.) that was stamped on the propeller at the time of manufacture. There were literally thousands of different models and designs even as early as WW1, and many newer designs were added after that. It is convenient to try to categorize them into one of two categories, 'Early' and 'Modern'. Early propellers are those designed and manufactured for aircraft engines prior to the advent of metal propellers. This generally encompasses a time frame that included World War One and earlier. All later propellers are classified as Modern. Shortly after the War, engine technology and propeller technology rapidly accelerated, and wooden propellers were quickly replaced by metal propellers operating at higher RPM's. And most wooden propellers that continued in production had a more characteristic design like that seen on the right, below. In the collectibles market, Modern propellers seem to far outnumber Early propellers by almost 10 to 1. Please do not email me with identification or valuation questions.Here's why.
