    Hey..new member here. I am posting photos of this prop. I have no clue what it is.

    It has NO bolt holes?

    It measures 8 feet 3 inches from tip to tip

    The only number/marking I see is shown in the photos. It is *411*

    Any help would be appreciated.

    That's almost certainly a "toothpick" style propeller designed for an OX5 engine and likely (but by no means certainly) used on a JN4 "Jenny" airplane. It was probably rejected during the manufacturing process so the hub was not fully drilled and no further information (other than a production number) were stamped on the hub.

    Here's an identical design with a photo of one on a JN4.

      Dave..thank you very much. I always had some idea it was for the JN4.

      I was planning to refinish as it has been pretty beaten up over the years. So I suppose I need to find out what the finish was for that propeller.

      I only plan to use as a display in the house.

        You're much better off leaving it the way it is. If you want a refinished one you can find those on eBay and re-refinish it if you like. See this thread.

          I guess I will just clean it up then. So you think I should leave it as is.

          Works for me.
