Raven Thos Wood Fishing Line Spool
The history behind the Raven Thos Wood Fishing Line Spool. This 80 year old rare and unused 1939 RAVEN brand silk casting line with an attractive Art Deco – Streamline Moderne style designed silver and red foil paper label was manufactured by the Thos. H. Wood Company (1880 – 1961) of South Coventry, Connecticut. This imported Japan silk fishing line was made and advertised 1939 – 1941 and then discontinued.
We have some great line spools available by following the link below
This spool and many others we have listed belonged to John Etchieson. John has spent decades amassing one of the largest line collections. The vast array of line spools and cards he has in his collection is historically significant as John has spent decades not only collecting, but rather researching these companies adding provenance to these pieces.
