Hey everyone, looking for a little help here on this Hamilton Standard blade...

So far the only conclusion myself and others have come up with is that it is for a C-69 Lockheed Constellation aircraft.

Any additional expertise is greatly appreciated. I'm just now trying to sell it at auction on eBay after buying it from an estate sale in Northern California.

It's 87 1/2 inches long, 14 1/4 at the widest part near the base, and the base is about 7 3/4 inches diameter. 120 pounds. I can post some pics of the base tomorrow morning when I lay it down for a closer look and get a better base diameter measurement. Should I be looking for something important on the bottom?

Stamped info around the base edge includes: HSP 26, DWG 6959A-0, MFG N695356, N695358, N695408

It looks like the DWG 6959A-0 is the old blade assy and was replaced with the DWG 6959B-0.
So ... Lockheed C-121 Constellation series ... RC-121C/D, T/RC-121C/D/G, VC-121E, C-121C.
 
That is the rare "H" shank blade used in the Hamilton Standard 43H60 propeller, which was used on the Lockheed 1049, and on some C119.
