    Lil bit of History.

    Those large wire reels were ships sailed by grade school kids (boys only) of course on the Oceans in the meadowlands of North jersey. Epic battles waged by rival pirate ships.The water was kinda brownish and smelled a bit funny.The Oceans were Located near a factory. May have been some run off from the plastic production. Polution hadn't been invented back then. Anyway none of the boys turned blue or orange.

    No no ill effects noted even after 70-72 Years.
    I think it's proof of the old Du Pont slogan "Better living through chemistry.'
