Couple Items I thought you all here might find interesting.

Propeller blades, the wood looks nice, though I can't imagine anyone paying that kind of money. I haven't tried to identify what they fit

If the Aeromatic with the project has a yellow tag or log book and it actually has new gear legs, it might be worth something near that price, but I bet it will go for much less. The other add for the blades is interesting. I used to have a lot of Aeromatic history and I have never seen that model number before. It could even be from the first planes to have used Aeromatics which was the Grumman Widgon during WW2. I have a long story about the first Aeromatic, if anybody wants to hear it? ____Grant.
 
I'm all ears.
I believe the parent company was Koppers? at least that's what I've seen referenced on logos and such.

I was recently in Pheonix, and made the drive down to the Pima museum in Tuscan. The props on the front of the Beech 18 and Lockheed model 10 Electra they had down there looked a lot like the Aeromatic with the external counter weights.
Also the Blollingbroke mk IV and the Curtiss 052 Owl had the same counter weighted design but with three blade propellers. None had a decal that I could find. Most of the other planes had a Hamilton standard or Sensench logo on the props.
