Royal Flying Corps Polished Walnut Biplane Fighter Propeller
About the Item
This propeller was designed to power a Royal Flying Corps D.H.5 Biplane Fighter, which was first introduced in late 1916 and was powered by a French-made engine such as the 110 HP Le Rhone.
Many, possibly the majority, of Tibbenhams propellers were made to designs of the Royal Aircraft Factory, although some were made for others. Frederick Tibbenham Ltd. of Turret Lane and Portland Road in Ipswich, made wings and other parts for airplanes, possibly as sub-contractors for Ransomes, but are best known for making propellers.
An extremely fine and rare example, retaining all of its original markings including the colorful Tibbenham badge in the form of a Wasp.

Located in Lisse, NL
Fabulous antique Black Forest wall barometer and thermometer.
This good size and finest quality carved barometer could be the perfect Black Forest antique to grace your home or lodge. The details in all of the hunting related sculptures reveal the workmanship of the artisan who created this one of a kind 'wall plaque barometer'. The oval wall plaque itself is made of solid oak and all of the finely carved hunting gear and dog are all hand carved out of solid nutwood. Have you also noticed the hanging bird prey underneath the perfectly carved hunter's hat and next to the rifle and hunting bag? For an artist to be able to hand-carve all these hunting elements in such details and with such perfection is something that never ceases to amaze us. What makes this particular antique even more special is the fact that, after one hundred years, it still is in mint condition.
