Fin-Nor Machine Industries reels 4/0 to 15/0 Full set

[54bullseye]

This set took quite a few years to complete !!! The Machine Industries reels were made from 1945 to 1947 so a short run ! The 12/0s seem to be most common by far. The 10/0s I have seen a hand full. The 15/0s I personally have seen 3 of them. The 6/0s I have seen only one and the 4/0s I have seen two of them. So not common reels at all.

I am going to add a bunch of pictures so enjoy and thanks for looking !!! John Taylor

Nice collection, John! Lots of asphalt put down to get all of those! How would you compare the mechanics of those reels to Fin-Nor?

John they are very similar to the regular Fin-Nor reels inside. They were forever changing and being improved on right up to and even after they were more mass produced. The 15/0 is about the smoothest 15/0 I have seen, John Taylor
