Really interesting piece Gatorboy. You mentioned in an earlier post I think, that it had scroll work on it? Where would that be? I assume that isn't threading on the narrow end, but those are stacked concentric rings? How deep is the groove? Does the large end look splayed out from beaten on or does it seem to be made that way? Sorry for all the questions; it's just such potentially cool find, an you find neat stuff down there.
Never heard of a solid bronze prop shaft... It was definitely made with the taper the wide end didn't get that way only from pounding on.. It's not cut it's molded
I didn't say cast maybe I should have chose a different word formed would have been better.. None of that matters because it's absolutely not a propeller shaft propeller shafts are straight this piece does not just have a splayed end the entire piece gradually grows larger from one end to the other...
I repeat its not a propeller shaft
