The problem with wood is it dries out over time and gets brittle. Maple is especially notorious for this. If those wood props were kept in a controlled environment for much of their life so they didn’t dry out too much, then yes.. They should be fine. Coming from eBay - it’s anyones guess. I prefer to play it safe myself and stick to what I know the history of.

I think I'm sitting on a gold mine too! I'm still flying some of my Top Flite beach wood props. 6% moisture content is optimum,and will remain mostly unchanged for "finished" props. Unfinished props might loose some strength if the moisture gets lower, or higher. So unless you live in Antarctica, or cook your props in the oven, they should be just fine.
