Hamilton propeller from Boeing B-1, 1920-1924

The B-1 was the first aircraft designed and assembled entirely by the Boeing Airplane Company for commercial rather than military purposes. Beginning in 1920, the plane was used on the first regularly scheduled international airmail route between Seattle and Victoria. This propeller made by Hamilton Aero Manufacturing Company was used on the Boeing B-1, and there is a consideration that it may be from the downed plane of the Army Around the World Flight in 1924, according to a local World Flight researcher.
