Re: Wooden reel
Looks like the number 2. Probably to keep track of matched parts.

I just found this post, so here are some pictures of my oldest reel, It is a tiny 2 I/4" reel with a strap back and riveted foot, with dainty ivory or bone handles. Inside you can just about make out the number 3 in pencil which matched the two parts, simple but effective. These reels are not valuable, but becoming harder to find in this condition. Probably dates from the 1880/90 period at a guess.

Re: Wooden reel
Very nice reel you have there, looks like the same wood type was used on both reels? Is there any way of finding out who made them? Think mine measures just over 3 and a half inches... The reel I mean.
