Thanks to all who were interested in my first post! Because of the response I bought the thing and wanted to show it to everyone...
Unfortunately my pictures did not turn out well but I will post two anyway. One shows what looks to be a glow-plug. The other shows a close-up of the prop and the ensignia which is embossed on it;appears to be a 'block "K"' with a sunburst in the upper right corner. Any comments?
Thanks.

Phil Garner

Hi Phil. That is a Kaysun prop. They were among the first plastic props available in the 50's. Not the first, but among them. I have used hundreds of them. They broke on impact quite easily. Years later I went to the Grish Brothers props, and wood of course. I used my first Kaysun on my Firebaby. Never did trust the metal prop that came with the "kit".

Kaysun made props for rubber power too. Wish I had a dime for every one I wound up, back when. Currell
