Wanting to trade an Abercrombie & Fitch line dryer for Cortland #9 or #12 linen line

This would make for a nice way to display your favorite reel. I'm looking to trade the Abercrombie & Fitch line dryer for some Cortland #9 or #12 white with green or black spot linen. Line dryer has a couple repairs and a couple paint spots, still a very neat and rare piece. I cannot seem to load pics of the line dryer, contact me and I will send pictures

May sound stupid but how do you tell linen line? I know how to tell Silk but not Linen. How about an education?

the only way that I have found is the burn test. you take a small sample and light it. Silk smells like burning hair and leaves melted remains. Nylon and dacron smell like burning plastic and again leave melted remains. linen burns very clean, no acrid odors, the remains are ashen.
