    Looks like it may be off a Rolls Royce Falcon engine.

      Drawing number "P3033" is listed for a Bristol Fighter and an MR1. The listed diameter is 2950 mm and pitch is 2850, so that looks correct. The "P" prefix indicates that the drawing was a Bristol and Colonial product.

        I wonder how this made it to Canada?

        Several Bristol Fighters were included in an Imperial Gift to Canada in 1920.

        apparently the Bristol Fighter ace McKeever had one as his personal aircraft on return to Canada.

          Apparently lots of propellers were brought from Europe to the U.S. and other countries as souvenirs of WW1. Sadly some (particularly 4-blades) were sawn apart to make transport easier.

          This one was also carved out at the hub to accommodate a clock or similar device, which also was fairly common.
