Saving Old Seagulls

I had a look at this odd prop, shear pin type.

Did Seagull do a shearpin prop?

Almost bid but then realised it is the wrong hand, wrong rotation.

Or have I got it wrong?

H-A

H.A. you are such a worry to me -

The prop is a right hand. its straight trailing edge is on the left. Unless my poor elderly eyes are completely failing.
And you know Seagulls do not use propellers, as far back as I have seen, with that fixing.

I think the clue is in the '?? dunno'

- and it appears to have about zero pitch

IMHO . . .

Anyway - I might have a bid on one of his other items . . . .

This prop is Left handed, and therefore not much use on a seagull DUNNO might be wrong.

I think the 5R had a shear pin, I was not sure if there were any others.

H-A

P.S. these are right handed I think

No Seagulls ever had a left handed prop to the best of my knowledge.

The 5R had a splined prop

All of the Marstons, 125, 170, Kingfisher & Osprey used a pin instead of a spring too transfer the drive, though the 170, Kingfisher & Osprey used a spring as well.

Which is why I left it alone after initial excitement as a spare.........



question now comes as to what it is from.................

ps Just think, this is yet another item when we could all have competed on! And as I said before I didn't bid the ON! Just spotted it!

"Biddin' on the prop on the bay..."

Isn't that Otis Redding???

No he said he never saw it!

straight through to the keeper!

170 propeller aprox 10.5"

Now I'm not arguementative, but which of those Marstons, 125, 170, Kingfisher & Osprey props are ' about 7" ' ?

ps I could be wrong about the rotation - it's very shallow pitch and camera angle in fact makes the leading and trailing edges appear to be curling up to the camera . . .

No problem going backwards then .
