Unfortunately, no one seems to have yet come up with a list of U.S. Propellers, Inc. drawing numbers correlated to aircraft usage. I do have it listed as built under Type Certificate # TC752 designed to be used on a 75 HP engine, but there were numerous aircraft, mostly trainers, that could have used that engine.

Thank you Dave for this information. Could the propeller have been on a 1943 INTERSTATE L-6 or similar around that year.
Thanks Andras
