Looks very repairable to me. The dents can be massaged out. The diameter and height might help someone to identify it. |

Thanks BDK..... I'll take some measurements later today. It is in pretty good shape... At this point, no reasonable offer refused. Reason I'd suspect something with a Merlin is that in my travels, I have been able to eyeball several Mosquitos, one Lancaster, CFM's -109 and the Casa 2.111. They all look very similar, not an exact match, but pretty darn close. |

Maybe an early Firefly? Or possibly a CCF Hurricane with the metal prop. It seems too rounded for an early three blade spit, but not rounded enough for a mosquito. Sean |

hmmm.....interesting. Looking at the different airplanes, the blade cutouts and location of camlocks are all different. Thanks so much for the info. |

***Bump**** Still have it. Anyone want it? It really needs to go. If its still in my garage after the new year, to the scrap yard it goes. |

Maybe just drop it off at the Cavanaugh museum as a donation rather than scrapping it? Would make a tax write-off if you can use it. |

Vintage Flying Museum would be happy to take it off your hands, and we can provide a tax receipt for the donation. I can come pick it up some evening or weekend. I just live up the road in Lake Dallas. |

The spinner is spoken for and will be out of my garage next week. Thanks for all the input folks. |
