    Thank you both for taking the time - although Seattle Eaglerock has very slightly different hub the blades are identical

    Thanks for the input. That's probably a match. I also noted in my listing that the "2" probably simply refers to the number of blades.

    many thanks for your effort Best Michael

    help in identifying propeller

    Have attached photos of prop that im trying to figure out - I sent photos and info to Hartzell as they used to be very good but it would appear old guard has retired. They placed it on a Curtiss Robin and attached a grainy photo of said airplane with a similar hub. The only problem that occured to me is the decal ( which is original ) predates the aircraft by about 10 years. The Propeller in Question : 104 1/2 inches , Back of hub 14 1/2 " front in outline of crush plate 6", hub is 4 1/2 ' deep, front bade as noted in photo stamped ox-5 RH other side 7176, back of hub 7176T -Unfortunatly at some point in its life it was refinished but original decals remain.
