help with a neighbors display piece

[twdeckard]

Greetings, I would appreciate any suggestions identifying a neighbors display
piece. Found in a farm field in Missouri many years ago.

8 foot diameter
8 bolt holes
metal sheath
stamped 4012-4 perpendicular to blade

Apologies for poor quality of photographs.

Curtis R4?

Thanks!

It's too short for an R4 .

Many propellers look the same, but had widely different usages. I don't recognize the number sequence, but there are certainly a lot of possibilities.

You might be able to narrow it down somewhat based on the hub dimensions, but it's unlikely that you'll be able to positively identify it.

Hub measurements - looks like OX5

B=2 ¾’’, C=5 ¼’’, E=8ea bolts, F=3/8’’, G=4’’

[twdeckard]

Looks like a Curtiss Jenny (Toothpick Style)

B=2 ¾’’, C=5 ¼’’, E=8ea bolts, F=3/8’’, G=4’’

Does anyone agree its an OX5 Curtiss Jenny Toothpick Style prop?

(thanks for maintaining this forum -- its solved a fun mystery)

[Dave]

That looks a lot more likely.
