I think what everyone should be saying is, that is an awesome piece of history. They don’t make em like that anymore. Wally world will serve you better

It’s not thread. It’s probably braided dacron line, which is what they used on these old reels before nylon monofilament came along. Most of these old reels don’t work well with monofilament or modern braided lines, and monofilament can damage the spool on many of them.

It was a good reel. In 1942.
That the reel from Old Man and the Sea?
