Are there any markings on the hubs (the metal parts at the top)?We have had these in the family since the early 80's. Was told they came from a WWII bomber plane. Not sure which type of plane, any ideas?
The metal is rusted up quite a bit so hard to read any markings. I am thinking the laminate has peeled off as you can see there is just a little bit of it leftAre there any markings on the hubs (the metal parts at the top)?
They don't look to be made of laminated wood like aircraft props are.
The blades are made up of a number of layers of wood laminated together, and will often have a fabric laminated over that. The dark lines may be the glue joins, but its hard to see from the photos. a photo of what numbering is on the hubs would help. I know wide blades with square tips are often used on airboats or hovercraft as well.The metal is rusted up quite a bit so hard to read any markings.

I thought those looked like the grain, but you're probably right.Looks like lamination's that are coming apart to me
Looking while on my phone, but blades look more like those from a wind tunnel rather than an aircraft.
