Description

This Vintage Wood Propeller is styled after early day propellers and, is one of the most realistic replica propellers on the market today. Its large size, measuring over six feet, also makes it a fantastic focal point in any room. Antiqued brass is on the leading edge of each blade just as it was done in bygone years. In the early days of aviation, aircraft used grass fields as runways and, the brass edging would help to protect the blade when field stones were kicked-up from the force of the rotating propeller. Nicks and dings have been added to the aged birch wood to add to the authentic, vintage look of the propeller. The wood has also been hand distressed and hand rubbed providing for an attractive, rich finish.

Nancy’s Notes: Customer’s often ask for recommendations when selecting a decorative wood propeller. This Vintage Wood Propeller is our most popular large propeller. The excellent craftsmanship, as noted in the product description, is one reason for its popularity. Another reason is the fact that the antique brass edging goes over both the front and back of the leading edge. Some propellers have the brass edge on only the front of the blade. This makes the Vintage Wood Propeller much more realistic as it is closer to replicating real early day propellers. Please call 800-Tailwinds (1-800-824-5946) or email service@tailwinds.com with any questions about our line of decorative propellers.

Hardware is included for hanging the Vintage Wood Propeller or simply prop the propeller in a corner. The propeller measures about 73 ¼" long and about 6" high at the widest part of the blade.

We were hunting for a nice looking decorative prop for my office. There were several on other websites that were hundreds more and Iâ€™ll bet thereâ€™s not much difference between them all.
I feel this is a good looking replica and it looks great on the wall.

A must in an aviator's home

ProsLight weight. Easy to install wall hanger.

ConsPoor packing for a delicate object. It made it all the way to Dubai and gained an additional minor dent.

This product is so big and beautiful! It looks amazingly vintage-the brass edging and wood colors are gorgeous. I fell in love with the idea of propeller wall art at a flea market-and the ones there were thousands of dollars. I can't believe something this authentic looking is priced this low. Not too heavy, easy to manage solo (easy to hang in a variety of ways). So glad I made the purchase.

Large Vintage Wood Propeller a Knockout Gift!
December 27, 2016

I purchased the LVWP as a gift for my brother, who has an aviation themed casual room in his FL home. We are both retired professional pilots (USMC, USAir & American) so I hoped it would fit in. He and his wife, a retired USAir flight attendant, are very enthusiastic about receiving it and immediately found the perfect place to display it. It was important to me to find the "right" gift for them, so I am really happy that I found the LVWP on-line, and that it was even on sale! (Airline pilots are notoriously cheap!) I can guarantee that Tailwinds is among my favorites and that I will be shopping there again. Thank you for a great gift!

This is a very nice replica. Arrived safely and on time. Good packaging. Really like the brass leading edge. It does wrap to the back side as well making it look more authentic. Perfect for our home. We are not planning to use the mounting hardware provided. While it may indeed work, I want to use something a little more substantial for our installation.

ProsGreat replica. Nice finsh/coloring. Great detail with the brass leading edge.

I ordered this for my son, a pilot, for Christmas and was very happy with the propeller. It arrived quickly and was double boxed so it arrived in excellent condition. My son was thrilled with it!! It looks just like the picture and the wood was solid and the metal trim and paint made the propeller looked authentic. I do wish it had a hanger already in place, but it shouldn't be too hard to hang. I got this item on sale and was very satisfied with the quality that I got for the price.

I was surprised with the quality of the prop and the speed of the shipment. I ordered two of these, and they were both packaged individually in boxes with plenty of bubble wrap. I would recommend to a friend.

Even better than I expected!
June 13, 2014

I ordered this as a decor piece for my bedroom that I plan on redecorating sometime in the near future. I lost my wife to cancer three years ago and have decided it's time for a change. I have seen authentic props in antique shops in the past but the price was a little to steep for something that will not be viewed regularly by anyone other than myself. I was searching on on the internet for props when I came across your site and found this beautiful replica, that looked even better than I expected upon receiving it. I can't say enough about the way it was packaged either. I think it could have dropped out of a plane on the way and still would have been fine. Service was prompt and courteous and I will surely be doing more business with Tailwinds as my room comes along and additional needs arise. Thank You!

ProsSuperior product Excellent customer service Prompt delivery Extremely well packaged to ensure damage-free delivery

The prop is exactly as advertised. The rich color of the wood makes the piece perfect for my office. The brass looking trim adds to the overall quality. It comes with easy to install brackets that allow a person to hang it on the wall at different angles.

This is a beautiful propeller, looks just like the picture online. Very lovely wood. We purchased it to be used as a guest book at the wedding of our daughter and son-in-law, both pilots. Guests signed with gold and bronze sharpies, and the result is stunning! First propeller arrived with a dent in the wood, due to improper packaging. The company was very prompt in replacing it in a very timely manner.
