Roll of WWII wire

4 Attachment(s)

I stopped by the antique store today to see what was new and I found a roll of wire that was WWII dated. I have been working on my Ford CMP & carrier tool kit list and need to find the 1/4 pound #20 roll of wire that were in with the tool boxes.Researching MLU posts gave me enough pictures to see what I need to find and now that I have a huge roll of the wire,I can now make up 2 rolls for my tool kit list with the proper original wire.

Original roll of wire

Keith Webb posted this photo of an original roll of wire that was on Ebay.This will help me in making up my 2 rolls for my tool kit list. Would anybody have a photo of what the red tag looks like? I am assuming it will have the part number on it identifying what it is?

One tag says Roebling Company. They are listed on the all-knowing Wikipedia as extremely important cable and wire suppliers in the US, especially for suspension bridge components.
