Provenance: 

The vendor acquired this from a private collection of early aeroplane propellers.

The eight stud fitting holes indicate that this propeller would have been fitted to a De Havilland Gnome 14 cylinder, 100hp two row radial rotary engine which powered the BS, later designated the SE2, single engine World War 1 scout/fighter designed and first flown by a young Geoffrey De Havilland around 1913. It was manufactured at the Royal Aircraft Factory at Farnborough, England.
