Hi, Robert from Charleston SC here.
In clearing my father's estate, I have come up with a McCauley prop. While my father was Air Force and a private pilot as well, I wont claim to know too much, please excuse my ignorance!
He had a Cessna 120, which had been repowered with an 0-200 Continental. I believe this prop is for that configuration.
It is stamped as follows.
Klip Tip
Met-l-prop
Reconditioned
Design 1A101
Serial number G9204
DCM 6948, the last 2 numbers appear to be stamped over the numbers 55{?}
I would say this prop is in excellent condition, no nicks at the tips or leading edges. Judging by the toolmarks around where the retention bolts/nuts sat, it was mounted one time. The yellow paint at the tips is in great shape. the black in the inside {opposite the yellow} shows some loss.
I will take pictures, but my camera's resolution isnt the best. I will show the prop locally to any potential buyer, or representative the buyer chooses. Any info on the ins and outs of such a sale would be greatly appreciated!
I have done enough homework to realize a good approximate value of the prop. In the interest of liquidating the estate, I am accepting offers. There should be a good deal to be had, but no "steal".
