A fly reel?
Sorry, I could not help my self.
A question for you...is it machined, or cast?

I'm guessing some sort of Martin. It looks pretty simillar to some of the ones I used to have.
TT.
Without looking back, I'm thinking a JW Young ... maybe a 1500 series
I think bigfin56 may have been correct. Here is a picture of a J W Young 1500 series spool (from eBay).

Have to agree with BobbyG. Pattern doesn't match.

May be a later Young model, I've never handled one.
I will say the perforation pattern on WWFF's spool and the ebayYoung 1500 are different.
