Hello. I was doing some clearing on my property in Canada BC and found this very interesting propeller. I'd love to narrow down its origin.

It has a bent tip but I believe it's 72inchs

It's the 75" Hamilton Standard 6501A-0. It was used for many aircraft including the F4U Corsair and F6F Hellcat. Usually confused with the 6507A-0 that was identical but made of different alloy. The 6501A-0 was made of the HS-26 (HSP-26) alloy while the 6507A-0 of the AMS-4130 one. According to the list of the props, governors and blades from 1963 the prop blade type was used for the Douglas C-54 Skymaster aircraft series with the R-2000 engine and prop assy/hub blade 23E50-473 or 505.

I can't tell you how many times I made the same mistake.

Keep digging - perhaps the rest of the plane is there - then we'll know for sure.

As previously stated, this a Hamilton Standard 6501A-0 blade. The pitch setting painted on the blade are "Low 22' High 49". With this pitch setting it would be used on a single engine aircraft, and not on the DC-4/C-54.

That is quite a nice blade. Is there some back story with the location? I don't find many blades laying around!

I agree. Most of the baldes used for the F4U Corsair and F6F Hellcat were of the 24/65 or 26/65. However I found a such shots ... believing the captions it seems that it is the Grumman TBM-3E Avenger had the blade type for its prop. The planes were also transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy. The TBM-3E of the Cavanaugh Flight Museum has the same prop blades for the 13 foot 1 inch diameter unit. Also a couple of other kites of the TBM-3E in museums with the DWG 6501A-0 and R6501A-0 and 6507A-0 blades but of the same angle range.
