Hence my question marks. And, yes they did deliver the 152 with a Q-tip
prop.
Cessna required flight schools in their Cessna Pilot Center program to
purchase a new aircraft every year. I hung out at a small country strip
from 1973 until 1979, so I remembered it was in that time frame.
The owner of the airport showed all of us the prop as a new feature for
that particular model year.

Hmmm, not to belabor the point, But the Cessna parts catalog does not
show any prop other than the standard McCauley "gull wing" design, the
TCDS does not list any other prop than the standard McCauley, there are
no STC listings for a Q-tip installation on a 152, and in my 24 years in
the business, I've never seen nor heard of any such installation. I
suspect your memory may be failing you on this point. Perhaps someone
did a one-off field approval, but as NEWPS indicated, I don't know of
any fixed pitch Q-tips to begin with.

What is the Gull Wing prop?
The prop I saw had the tip bent back maybe 1/4"-3/8".
