Title: What kind of Vintage/Antique line is this?
Post by: Paul Roberts on July 13, 2021, 03:46:51 PM
It's not shiny like nylon or even silk. Linen? Any idea on the age of such a line?

The reel is an OC "Jones Beach" that was cataloged from '38 to '42.

Probably as old as the reel.

Thanks guys. What I could find out, the 19-teens (prob earlier) into the 1940s.
