  • Help Identify 2 Early Propellers

    I have two early propellers that I need help identifying. I believe they both are from Navy aircraft (F-5-L and an N-9?). The first one has the following markings and is 10ft long.
    MATTHEWS BRO.S MFG CO
    H-9344
    10'' R.H.
    S.E. 5111
    F-5-L
    The second propeller has the following markings.
    2
    OXX6
    RH
    CP 11386
    1
    8' X 4'7"
    N996-179
    2198
    I'm enclosing a picture of each propeller (hopefully I'm successful). Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    The first one was used for the Curtiss F5L, also known by the civilian model Aeromarine 75.

    I've been trying to find a match for the drawing number on the second one. Here's the identical model, built by Buffairo instead of Curtiss. (The "CP" preceding 11386 on yours is for "Curtiss Propeller")

      Dave, thanks for the response. There's not much information out there on the Curtiss F-5-L. As far as the other propeller goes, I was hoping that the "N996-179" and "OXX-6" would signify a Curtiss N-9 prop. I was told that the N-9 was powered by the OXX-6 and then later replaced with the more powerfull Hisso engine. This is a great website, thanks again.
