It has 8 bolt holes on the hub.
The gentleman I got it from beleaves it came off a n17.
Any info that you or anyone could provide would be invaluable.

Look at the Sensenich drawing numbers, then cross reference it to the civilian design number, 90 JA 81 on this page and you'll find the aircraft listed there.

The Cessna Bobcat, variously known by other names such as the "Bamboo Bomber" was a twin engine airplane produced in fairly large numbers, but quickly re-designed with engines using metal propellers, so all of the wooden props manufactured for it very quickly became obsolete. They are surprisingly common, built by a number of differnt manufacturers. Fahlin was probably manufacturing them under an agreement with Sensenich, which is why the drawing number isn't listed on the Fahlin page.
