This late 1910's - early 1920's propeller is NOT a perfect condition reproduction. Dents, pitting, small cracks, gouges, fading, and nicks throughout as expected. No structural issues that would prevent display as is or horizontal mounting. As is, period condition. Amazing dark woods with brass tips. Fantastic conversation or decor piece for the largest of spaces.
