Hi , we have this wooden prop and from what we can gather it may have come off a very early curtiss flying boat? of course were not sure and even though I am a aviator myself I am sure somebody here is more educated on this then me . lol... we think that this may be a paragon propeller due to some pics we have seen on this post. but again , not sure? the numbers we were able to get off of it read like this:
2
11 6 12
we are thinking this may be its manufacture date? and the numbers we raised on the wood . this was on the right hand side of prop hub if it were mounted and you were facing it.
The next set from what we could make out are as follows:
1 or 2
2638
CG6 L 7'".
57
These were on the left hand side if it were mounted and you were facing it. we have not gone ant farther yet but we plan on chemically stripping it to see if there is anything else we havent found yet? there are some numbers under the date of what we think maybe manufacture but they are unreadable at this time. we have also looked at some pics of triads and the no.2 signal corps plane as well. hope someone can help? thanks Mike.
