At first look it looks like a DH.6 prop.(if a four blader or Farman Shorthorn if a two blader) The Dia is shown as 2618mm with a pitch of 2520mm. I'm sure someone will come up with chapter and verse soon.

Some more pictures of my propeller could this image be the aircraft serial number?

I don't think it's the A/c serial as that number was allocated to a Henri Farman. If you know that the blades became table legs, do you have any other background info.

The propeller came from a motor bike and model shop in Tamworth which closed down in the late 70s to make way for a new road.
The previous owners wife informed me that after the first world war a number of four bladed propellers were used in table making.
It was a simple matter of adding a table top to two lopped four blade propellers.
A Mahogany table top would make a good match for the four blade legs

I've a wooden aircraft propeller which I believe is from a first world war aircraft.
I was told the propeller was cropped after the first world war to make one of a set of table legs.
The details embossed on the propeller are
LP 790
80 HP RENAULT
D2618
P2520
LH
G1224
No 84
A1224 is embossed on the face.
