Propeller ID

[johndhogan]

My wife inherited a wooden propeller and I am trying to find out a little more about it. The only markings I could find are the code J5637 on the hub.
I couldn't find that on http://www.woodenpropeller.com/MWP.html.

It is 6 ft long.

It is not in great shape but it is an interesting piece. Pictures are attached. Thanks for any help.

Also written in pencil near the tip was the number NoY211951. I thought it might have been a tail number because it started with N, but that is not a good sequence.

I'd have to do a little digging to find out which 6 foot props had the counterbores in the hub, but it looks like a commonly used prop that would fit o a variety of engines. Just as an example go to the props on this page that have model numbers with a "72" prefix and you'll see a wide range of aircraft make and models. At this point it could be for any one of those.

Thanks. Was there supposed to be a link in your reply, or did you mean to the main page at

Here is an additional picture of the other side of the hub, with the grooves cut into it. they don't look consistent, with some being deeper than others.

I don’t think those grooves will assist in identifying the propeller; they are in all likelihood part of an unfinished attempt to open up the centre hole to accommodate a clock or barometer.

My mistake. I meant to hyperlink to the Sensenich page on the site.
