Another Mystery from the box! Anaconda Wire Spool ?
Posted by TeddyB on Wednesday, March 9, 2011 2:04 PM

I've more mysteries from the junk box!  Ever heard of Anaconda from Hudson Ny? Looks to me like 2 Wire Spools for a load for a flat car or Gondola? Doesn't say Lionel or Flyer anywere! ANY clues out there?

Many thanks, Ted

I would suggest that they aren't toy train parts at all.  Perhaps at one time they were exactly what they appear to be; a couple of spools of Anaconda wire.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

They really are for trains! I found out that they are part of Skyline W5 Freight Set. Comes with the 2 spools and a bunch of black barrels.

THX, Ted
