Heavy-duty, industrial-grade cast-iron movie film reels. Unlike standard aluminum reels, these were built for professional lab and studio use where durability and balance were essential.
 
Markings
- Engraved with "Made in USA," "Always use for take-up," and "Precision 3 inch center."
 
Material
- Solid cast metal (Iron/eavy Aluminum Alloy) with a dark industrial patina.
 
Design
- Features a keyed "Precision Center" spindle slot for a secure, wobble-free fit on professional projectors and rewinds.
 
Versatility
- Ideal for functional 16mm film use or as high-end industrial/steampunk decor (bookends, paperweights, or wall displays).
 
Condition
- These have a natural aged patina with minor surface wear consistent with age. They are straight, heavy, and the engravings are clear and legible. (Note: Reels have been lightly cleaned but retain their original vintage character).
