    I took the bait like Betty did. Interesting. Don't ever remember seeing anything like that and I date back almost to that time.
    Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.

    I've got 2 guesses. A reel handle? Or...a reel spool spindle covering that you would tie your backing to?

    Edited to add:
    OK, now I've looked. I would never have guessed!

    Years ago, the lead for mech. pencils came in a wooden cylinder just like that. That was my guess before looking at the answer....

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    John,

    They may call us "old", but, I worked hard to get to this phase of my life and I plan to enjoy every minute of it!

    By the way, after leaving the river one cold day, I stopped at a little store and while waiting for the waitress to get me a cup of hot coffee to go, I noticed that on the front of her T-shirt was the following:

    "AGE IS A MIND OVER MATTER THING"

    and on the back of her T-shirt it said:

    "AND I DON'T MIND BECAUSE YOU DON'T MATTER"

    At whatever age you are, try and enjoy the ride.....

    I remember Mom getting needles for her sewing machine in a wooden tube but have never seen fish hooks in one. I would have guess toothpick holder if I had not peeked first.
