Vintage ACME Clothes Line Reel Hand Crank Retractable Double Line Appears Unused
Shiny, like new metal 2-line clothes line. It has one piece of cord in a loop so there are two lines that extend from the housing and can be attached to two points to make two lines.
The crank has a red wooden handle and a hook that locks the lines in place at the desired length.
When the line is extended, the hook on the crank tends to make scratches on the side as the crank spins. As you can see in the photos, the side has no circular scratches.
There are also no scratches around the screw holes indicating that it has probably never been mounted.
Super cool item that will look great on a camper/trailer or just on the house.
I haven’t pulled the cord out so I can’t guarantee that it hasn’t dry rotted but I’ve replaced the cord on another identical one and it isn’t difficult.
