Acquired this propeller foundry pattern a while back. I made a redwood base to better display it. I’m almost certain the propeller is also made of redwood.
It was likely made for the USCGC Columbine (WLI-208) built in Oakland, CA around 1931 to tend lighthouses and buoys around San Francisco until 1965.
Unique piece of California maritime and industrial history.
