Hi All, Can anybody tell me the approx. market value of an Avro Anson propeller? Wood but 2 piece with the hub and gearing still in place? I have been offered one at £750 and wondering if that is about right? It’s ex-museum and in very good condition still with the original black coating with no visible damage and ‘as is’ condition from when it was removed from the A/C.

The early Cheetah Ansons had metal Fairey -Reed fixed pitch props. Later types such as the Mk.19 had a variable pitch Rotol prop and the above mentioned sounds to be one of these post war types. Canadian Jacobs engine’d Ansons had fixed pitch wooden props whilst the P&W Mk.V’s had Hamilton Standard metal variable pitch props. Oxfords with Cheetah’s had wooden props.

Gearing!!!
Did the later model Ansons have variable pitch?

Seems a fair price to me. Most propellers in good condition are making quite a bit more than that these days.
