Hi to all

a friend gave me a big propeller. He told me it come from bombardier plan in Wichita (formely Canadair). from what i see stamped on blade and my research, it may come from a war plane like hellcat, F4U. anyone have clue about those marking, especialy DWG no and MFG. The blade is 72 inch long and 12 inch wide. I have plenty pictures. I'm new on the site, I'm not sure how to post them


SHANK 56155 CHG U
CONT W535-A5
JR2105-1
72FA-.78
MFG NON RR
SK61519
DWG 6507-A (here the numbers are marqued with an X on each and repaced by 7147)
NP330101
NRRU6515
AMS4130

Hamilton Standard built a 6507A blade that went on a lot of different aircraft. with that blade number and shank number i would guess it came off something with a P&W R2800 on it.

At a minimum, fits a Hamilton Standard 24E60, 24E50, 24EX, 33E60 and 33EX and should be right-hand rotation (clockwise from the pilot's view).

Among others, these blades can be used on a TBM:

That blade is not eligible for a Canadair CL-215:
