Anyone know what they would have been used on? Someone has one they brought to the Grissom Air Museum. On the prop it says "aircraft prop. co.
No. 322 Des. 10
R.P.M. 1550"

Chris,

There was a post on the site "www.woodenpropeller.com" in 2007 about a prop with the same markings as the one you are referring to. It may be the same prop. The prop expert on that site made a guess and came up with the Gnome Rotary engine, but did not speculate on an airframe. It did appear to be conclusive as to a WW1 time-period. The list of planes using that engine is probably pretty short.

Edit - Mike beat me to it.
