    Its hard to say; its "opposite rotation" to most common US aircraft and the markings are hard to read. I would date it to at least circa 1930 if not older.

    Really hard to say.In the third pic the last number looks like 1905 or 1925.( A year of making ?)

    I think its from a Airboat. Maybe made by Sensenich.

    I checked TSDC and could not find anything from a Sensenich with counter-clockwise rotation that would be used on a type certificated aircraft. It would be almost impossible to determine a specific aircraft it went on as a propeller, based on pitch and length could be fitted to a number of aircraft.

    Yeah, the airboat thing makes sense.
    From the pics, it seems a little short to be used for an airplane.

    ...in fact, I think I found something on U-Boob that shows your propeller in action!

    Check it out.

    Here's something else to consider... British props rotate opposite to U.S. props too. As seen from the pilots view U.S. props rotate clockwise, British rotate counter-clockwise.
