Rare collectible in very good condition. Age unknown. Very well constructed. I would use this today. So Cool and rare. Large! Overall length - almost 20" Reel diameter - 6" Inside reel width - 2 3/4" Because of the dimensions I believe this is American made. Made of hardwoods and steel. The spike still has a decent point on it. The steel handle fits my adult hand, is not to large for a child and is 1/4" dia. round bar steel. It does show it's age and there is one spot where it looks like a small dog might have chewed it some but overall it's in very good condition considering. I can't bel;ieve how much sring this was made to hold. Probably because back in the day we didn't have synthetics and natural fiber string was much thicker. A very cool, one of a kind item.
