It's listed here: http://www.modernwoodenpropellers.co...h_military.htm as being the equivalent of civilian design number 90LA-76 for a Boeing PT-17 with a Contintiental R670 engine.

XLNT info.
Had thought Stearman, but was unable to verify.
Thanks Lamar.

Had thought Stearman, but was unable to verify.

For those who may not know, Boeing bought out Stearman after Stearman designed and built the model 75, the plane that ultimately had the military designation "PT-17".

Bud and Lamar -

I have the exact same Propeller. It has been hanging in my Mom and Dad's house since 1960. The legend goes that after WWII my great Uncle, who was in the Air Force, purchased it from Priester Aviation Company for $5.00.

My serial number is AF 43 A6002.

What did you end up doing with your propeller Bud?

appreciation of stearmans

The Stearman was always one of my favorites, see the image posted of Stearman artwork I did a few years back for a t-shirt design.
