This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Based on the wiring coming off the back side, four blades that appear to be hollow stee based on how one blade is bent, I think it may be a Curtiss Electric propeller possibly off a P-47 Thunderbolt or SB2C Helldiver.

Some PBM Mariners & PB2Y Coronados also used 4 blade props.

One might be able to deduce the application from the blade stencils (pitch stop markings, etc.).

I didn't notice any remnants of a blade cuff. This is also a tooth pick type blade.
Most military C-46s used the Curtis Electric prop and I believe Taiwan used the C-46 for many years.
The length of the blades would also give a clue.
