I just found a No. 5 looks like it is carbon arc missing some lenses.I think I can find the lenses at surplusshed.com a great source for all optics.I would like to find a collector to restore it.
There is no spring inside the spool.You can see the brass shaft that the spool rotates on indicating that it should spin without wear

I cannot explain why the string does not play out or windup.Baffled

Correct in your assumptions But it does not work that way

The wingnut is loose

The string does not play out well nor does it rewind

I found A Lafore with patents for box making but nothing like this

I agree with you on all points Will google A. Lafore

There is a spool of string inside. maybe it is just a laundry line seems to heavy duty for that. the string does not play out easily.

There is a string I thought I posted the other side
