<font size=2 face="sans-serif">The whole deal would be how you package
them. Just so happens, I have large long pelican cases that they
would fit into.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would be more than happy to donate
any cases that would fit the props to you if you paid for shipping. Once
in a case (with the foam around it) I can't image that there is much that
can happen.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Once of the cases should fit the 10'
(I'll have to measure it for sure.) and I have another one that will do
an 8'. If you have shorter ones, I have more smaller cases.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>My great grandfather was one of the country’s first
manufacturer’s of wooden airplane propellers and his personal collection
of 7 props was sold to a collector in Savannah, GA when he died. I,
and other members of my family, have worked for many years to have them
returned to the family and we finally succeeded last week. We had
a family lottery to find them new homes and 3 of them now need to go to
the west coast, 3 to the Chicago area and the last to Kentucky. (It
isn’t relevant to the question that follows, but it is nice to add that
6 of the 7 are going to younger members of the family that are buying their
first prop. Those of my generation have been searching them out and
snapping them up for years, and most of us already own one or two*.)<br>
<br>
Now comes the hard part: getting them to their new owners. The props
are 80 to 110 years old and most of them are around 8’ long; one is 10’.
The good thing about wooden props is that they don’t weigh much,
but they will need to be handled carefully. We are planning on shipping
them in two bundles of three props (the one to KY will be handled separately)
and need to find a shipper who can pack them up in GA and get them to the
west coast and Chicago. This is a long shot, but does anyone here
have any contacts or direct knowledge of a shipper that might be appropriate
for the job?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim<br>
