5 Foot Bronze Ship Propeller – USCG Rolls Royce LH Propeller – 175 Foot Cutter Vessel Authentic Coast Guard

This 5 foot bronze ship propeller comes from a United States Coast Guard vessel. It uses a left-hand (LH) rotation design and reflects heavy-duty marine engineering built for long-term use.

Originally, this propeller served on a 175-foot USCG cutter. Technicians repaired it in 2014, and then crews stored it for approximately 10 years before releasing it through a government auction. As a result, it shows minimal wear while still keeping its original industrial character. During storage, a protective coating covered the surface, and we removed part of that layer to reveal the bronze underneath.

The original crate markings provide clear identification. They list the item as “Propeller, LH,” along with part number 551209 and a shipping weight of 2004 pounds. In addition, the crate includes Coast Guard material and contract references, which confirm its use in a government setting. Rolls-Royce marine systems supplied propellers like this for both military and commercial vessels, so they built them for strength and consistent performance.

This prop features solid bronze construction with visible machining marks and light handling wear. Overall, the condition remains strong and consistent with a stored marine component.
