Found some blades

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of wind generator you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Found these blades at an antique store today. The fellow thought they were off a helicopter! BAHAHAHAHA!! Im not sure but Im thinking maybe Jacob's?? The wood is pretty nice. No chunks missing. They would finish up beautiful. He wants $300 cad? Thoughts... too much? One of the cast brackets is broken.

They are Jacobs and in pretty nice original condition from what I can see. I may have an extra mounting bracket. Price is fair to someone needing them. You just need to find the rest if the machine.
