I owned one at one time but sold it to one of the Jacuzzi descendents about 7 or 8 years ago. It had fairly pronounced tapered blades and was made of birch or similar light colored wood.
I'll see if I can dig up a picture or diagram.

Jacuzzi "Toothpick"
The Jacuzzi Brothers became known (before their famous whirlpools) as makers of a very successful WWI propeller known as the Jacuzzi "Toothpick". Was supposed to have powered many WWI aircraft. One of them is supposed to be in the Smithsonian. Yet I can find no information regarding this particular Prop. Any ideas out there?
