searching for info and value

[kathywithaK]

hello..i inherited my dad's propeller.

Across the top center of the hub is UNITED STATES NAVY, with 1918 under it.

1918 is again stamped under the hole in hub.

To the right of the hole at the beginning of the propeller is an anchor and letters FCR, then 8'8", TYPE HS-I

At the bottom of the hub are 3398 in larger numbers and 735460 in smaller numbers.

I have been carrying this propeller around with me after moving a few times and I think it is about time I found out all I can. This site seems to be the perfect spot for help. I would appreciate any info you can supply, along with any value. thank you.

It's for a Curtiss HS 1 seaplane from the late teens. Value can't be estimated without knowing its condition.
