  • Early wooden propeller JN4 Canuck?

    Wondering if I could get some help in identifying this propeller?
    I believe this be a JN4 Canuck propeller used in training in Deseronto during WW1 and saved from the burn pile after
    inspection so the story goes. More holes than stock and likely had been refinished before I acquired it.Possibly had some length trimmed as well at approximately 94 inches in total.

    Pretty indistinct lettering, although one looks like AID, a British inspection stamp. Probably over sanded in an attempt to improve the display at some time in the past? Without dimensions it’s hard to say, but outer 8 bolt holes appear correct in that two of them are on the propeller centreline.
    BTW, you do realize that the airfield near Deseronto was Camp Rathbun and not Rathburn?

      Thank you for your input and no I did not realize that until you pointed it out.
      Definitely refinished possibly by the first owner.
