Not sure which Curtis Aircraft this prop is from?

[Baron Reinhold]

I am not sure if this is from a Curtis HS-1 or a H-16 and wanted to get input from the "Wooden Propeller Community."

The propeller is 104" tip to tip.

Thanks!!!

I'll try to see if those numbers match anything specific. It's half of a four-bladed assembly, and the "SE" prefix refers to "Steam Engineering", which was the U.S. Navy department responsible for procuring propellers at the end of WW1 and later.

Could it possibly have been made for a seaplane?

Could it possibly have been made foe a seaplane?

Most likely it was. The U.S. Navy was very active in the late teens and early twenties developing a whole line of flying boats, and experimenting with a variety of engines and airframes, which is why it is hard to know which combination of engine/airplane any propeller was manufactured for unless you have specific identity stamped on the propeller itself.

The "SE 364-572" is that specific identity, but the problem is that we don't have a listing of those numbers to reference it.
