    need a plastic or metal propeller

    I am in need of a source for a plastic or metal propeller to go on a plaque.
    Anyone know where I can get one? JDS and Tropar don't have them.

    Thanks!

    I have never seen those at an award supply. You might try the local hobby shops, they probably have something for model or Radio Controlled boats that would work.

    Check with hobby shops or any online model boat building supplier.

    The propeller I'm looking for would be one with four or five rounded fins, like from a giant ship. The plaque is going to have an old Navy type ship on it. I'll have to take a photo of the plaque thats already there, but thanks everyone.

    I think the best they have is 3 blade.
