There's a couple of reasons I think that's the deep red. The handle knob color is from late 60s/early 70s (but it could have been replaced from the original handle), and the early black plastic spools didn't have a flat flange, or "bell" on them---you had to thumb the side of the spool when you cast. Those spools in the pic have a distinct flat bell. They may have changed the black ones in the last years of original black, tho---my black plastic spools are from the 1940s.
