Hello, I hope someone may be able to help with the identification of a propeller that has been made into a clock, which has been in my family for a very long time (perhaps even since it was made into a clock).
I have also attached some photographs that may help.
Serie CP no 657
no 6425
G SFA 3
Cau G3
AZ 100
It also has 8 bolt holes and 5 layers of wood.
Sadly my relative was shot down and killed during the First World War (in June 191
at the young age of 18, so I have been wondering if this might have been a souvenir from his flight school training, or a gift to his parents from around that time, perhaps?
From my initial findings I wonder if this was from a Caudron G3 plane? If so, this would be interesting because the family lived in Cricklewood (North London) at the time and I’ve discovered that these planes were used in training. There was also a British Caudron factory in Cricklewood (according to the ‘download history’ notes in the following link from the RAF museum in London).

If anyone knows anything more certain about the type of plane that this might have been used on I'd be extremely grateful, or any other relevant details.
Thank-you for your interest and what a fantastic resource this forum is.
