Circa 1946 Sensenich Model 720-42 wood airplane propeller. Sensenich Propeller Company was established in 1932 with the intent to manufacture fixed pitch wood aircraft propellers for the popular and expanding aviation market.

The propeller is accompanied by a July 9th, 1984, dated letter that states this propeller was manufactured in August 1946. The letter is stamped from the Sensenich Corporation in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. An interesting example of a World War II era Sensenich propeller. Measures approximately 72".
