It's clearly stamped for the Curtiss H8, which was a relatively insignificant prototype version in a series of flying boats developed by the Navy in the late teens to early twenties. Matthews Bros. made a number of props for a variety of aircraft during that time frame.
Value cannot be determined without knowing its actual condition, which requires either direct examination or high quality photos.
