I have had this for a while now, I am pretty sure it is from a Super Connie, but there is always the chance it is from something else. It measures 23 inches across at its widest point, and approximately 25 inches tall.

Many thanks for your help!

Is the spinner designed for 3 or 4 prop blades? Connies had 3 blades.

Kinda looks like the spinner off a P-61

P-61 had Curtiss Electric propellers, the spinner is Hamilton Standard. The P-61 spinner is kinda thicker/wider.
IMHO this is a postwar spinner - the stickers and the font look modern to me.
