ORIGINAL WORLD WAR TWO ERA U.S. NAVY SHIPS TAFFRAIL LOG ROTATOR IN STOWAGE BOX. This rotator is a spare part for a USN ship Taffrail log, This is just the rotator part of the log and is not the entire unit. The taffrail log was used to calculate a ships speed as it dragged this rotator through the water from the stern. The rotator is marked "USN" and "THE LIONEL CORPORATION NEW YORK N.Y. TYPE TL" on the fins. Tied to the rotator is the original length of rope & hardware. The rotator measures 14 inches long, the rope and hardware measure about 32 inches long. The rotator is in excellent unused condition. The rotator comes fitted in its original wooden stowage box. The box is stenciled "TAFFRAIL LOG SPARE PARTS ROTATOR" and is stamped "USN". The box retains most of its original navy grey paint showing some expected wear due to years of storage. Stowage box measures 20 1/2 X 5 1/2 X 8 inches. Overall an interesting example of WWII era technology for your U.S. Navy or Nautical collection!***CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS & ADD ME AS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE SELLERS FOR MORE VINTAGE MILITARIA***
