  1. Amazing! Copper wire was used for fishing! I love learning something new! It looks a bit similar to the one on ebay Celiene, cast and has the stop on it. Fantastic little mystery treasure.
  2. Onedtent the antenna wire makes much more sense than fishing line for sure. I can't imagine using it as clothesline wire either. I looked at some images on google and haven't found one matching vint...
  3. That is amazing Onedtent. Son in law is a pilot for the Air Force. I will have to show this to him. Thank you so much. Oh, yes, the copper wire looks original and old.
  4. Jeffgordon24 I had to google downrigger images to see what that is. I am not a fisherman. I have hung a few clothes though blunderbuss2. Nothing fresher!
  5. blunderbuss2 I doubt one would use copper for a clothesline, but, ya never know.
  6. Sean68, I have searched for something to compare them to, no luck so far. They are interesting.
  7. Thanks Tom

  9. I remember Mom had a couple of these. She kept tea cold in the fridge in them, circa 1960's.
