What's the Length?  I'm thinking a stearman?

How about a pic?

No letter prefix would make it prior to 1943

  There is a thin metal strip on the leading edge of the props.

like this?

I'm not actually sure how much of the information I pulled off the stamp is correct.  It's so very faint - I saw examples of other propellers that had info stamped on the hub in very large lettering.

On this one, it's off to the side of the hub, and all lines (combined) probably only span about 3 inches.  So in addition to being extremely faint, they're small.

I did take a picture, but it's on my husband's computer... so I'll post one later (probably next week) after it's transferred from his to mine.

Yep =) Just like that, with the little circle impressions & everything!

Nope, those were the only markings on it. There were rectangles on it (about 4 of them, which probably indicate where some sort of decals were at one time (annual registration or inspection maybe?)

Here's the marks, which I still have to decipher:
SENSENICH
PO No.1
T.O. No. 586
85R 5 61
CS-S (I think it says that... that line was hard to see)

I was wrong - one of my kids found an additional number - the serial number - which we used on the sensenich site to determine it was made between Feb 61 & Nov 62. =)

(Yay Snapper for finding the serial #!)
