Is there any way to identify how old this propeller is or what plane it would have been used on.
I really don't know the
first thing about some of this stuff. It is 8'4" long. The hole in the
center is about 3 1/8 inches ID and it looks like it would receive a
shaft the length of 5 3/8 ". It was a little hard to read the SER number
on the the thing, but I think it is as follows: 57316

Howdy planeguy. I have no idea but welcome.
There are a few guys here that might have a good idea about the prop.

The 225HP rating (Continental R-670, Lycoming R-680, Jacobs R-755) is typical for the PT-13 Stearman, Cessna T-50, UC-78 and a variety of Waco's. There are probably others as well.

The Sensenich website has a list of wooden propeller serial numbers and a date range for when the blank was glued together.

If the serial number is correct with no letter in front of the serial number then blank glued prior to 1944

according to this link all the 100 series propellers seem to be Waco applications, but it does not list a 100A model. So I would suspect a Waco powered by a Continental R-670 radial engine. Of around 170 hp
