    I have acquired a wood propeller and need help identifying.
    Liberty Motor Lang Products
    PNA USN and the Anchor marking
    NO.5109 DRG NO. SE5090 LW HP 370
    Pitch 6.65 Dia 8-4
    On the side of the Hub stamped N369x
    Also stamped are the letters RDW
    I do not believe the prop was ever installed there are cork plugs in some of the mount holes.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If the hub is around 4" (or slightly less) then it's almost certainly part of a 4 blade combination, where 2 of them were stacked together to form the 4 blade. The most common usage for that was the Curtiss HS 2L flying boat employed by the Navy in the late teens and used for a variety of operations following WW1.
