Comments:  Built by the Buffalo Aeroplane Corporation (Buffairo), this propeller was sold as surplus by the Navy in 1920.  It was used on the Curtiss model F flying boat, designed in 1913 to 1914 and ordered by the Navy around 1916.  Using an OXX-3 engine necessitates the Left Hand rotation to make it a pusher prop.

Wood:  Probably mahogany
Length:  8 feet
Pitch:  4.12 feet


Wanted:  If you have a propeller that was used on a Curtiss F or MF boat and have any interest in donating it, the Coast Guard would like to hear from you.  Please email me if so.
