I have questions about 2 different items.  The first item I found in an old wooden tackle box with a bunch of wooden bobbers.  But I do not think it is a bobber.  It measures 2 1/2" tall & it is solid wood.  Any ideas as to what it is?

The second item is spool of old fishing line.  What kind of line is this?  Nylon?  Silk?  The spool is about 12 1/2" in total length & there are small holes at the ends of the wooden rod.  Is this the way fishing line came or is this part of some sort of spooling device?  Any idea how old this might be?

 

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Well that bad news is that neither item is for fishing.

 

The first is a toy top, wood.

 

The second is a kyte spool for old paper kytes.

 

Ask in the toys and games board.
