Rip your nighty...LOL...more fantastic Aussie slang!! I screen shot the shipping info, what a joke. Says "ships worldwide" and then lists at least half the known world they won't ship to...cheapskate! I was just thinking guys, with all this coronavirus business going on, spray that package good with Lysol if you order one! $:-\$

Surprise surprise,,,,,

wasn't advertised with a spool and this came in the mail today and there's good people even on ebay,,,,,,

Found an old 9/0 and decided to get it and clean it up. Can't find any numbers on it, wondering what I have here?

Good save Darin....best I can date is pre-war 2nd generation. Although the harness lugs look different. Maybe someone else recognizes them. Bill

You have a crusty 9/0 with no part #'s LOL

It has coin edge cb, but front harness lugs have "O" shape holes, so could be 1942, or 1946ish

They grey monofil w/chipped spool is mid 1950's. As are the grey sideplates piled adjacent to the reel. You hoarding stuff Darin ??

Thanks Bill and Ted! LOL Ted, you always have an eye for the hidden gems

I grabbed a quick pic, but didn't have time to wipe the grease and fingerprints off before I left the house...
