Can anyone help me find out anymore about these propellers.
Think they're from Mk21 spitfire and a seafire?

Would love to learn more about them. I understand it's not possible to link them to the aircraft. But anyway to know whether they were flown?

Welcome to the site.

Two different Rotol Jablo wooden blades ...

The R.A. 10167/RTS, serial no. 263044 is of the four-blade Rotol R22/4F5/8 prop which was fitted to Griffon VI engined Mk.XV and Mk. XVII Seafires.
The R.A. 10129/RTS, serial no. 049470 is of the five-blade Rotol R.14/5F5/2 prop fitted to Spitfire MK.21/22/24 series.

It is not possible to find out the particular aircraft the prop blades were used for if there is no data included by the seller. Both blades seem to be damaged at the root and their adaptors are missing. Anyway both blades seem to be the post-war items IMHO.
 
Thanks for the welcome and information.

Very helpful to confirm what they are.

Shame I can't trace them back to a plane.

Best wishes,

Andrew
