No, definitely not. That would create a huge stress riser at a point where centrifugal forces are concentrated and could result in separation of the blades. It renders it completely non-airworthy (not that it matters, since most of them aren't still airworthy anyway) but it does signficantly detract from any value to a collector.
It looks as if someone may have begun to cut it down to transport it, and it looks like the cut was made on the face side (where the decals are) rather than the rear, where it least it wouldn't be visible in a display mode.Dave

More data on AT-17 prop
I own one of these props, given to me by my father in law. He was a B-17/24 pilot and navigator. He trained on the AT-17 for multi-engine. I found this web site http://www.cessnat50.org/manuals.html. It contains the Cessna manuals for the plane. Check out pages 157-158.
Does anyone have a picture of this prop mounted on a BL-17 or AT-17. I've searched on the net, but haven't found one.
