Vintage GENERIC FISHING REEL w/ Heavy Black Line, Guide - eBay (item 310015513318 end time Jan-23-08 20:05:30 PST) This vintage fishing reel has no maker's mark anywhere. It's filled with very heavy black line with texture. Either way you turn the double crank it makes a nice metallic clicking sound. There are no knobs or levers.
I have no idea if it's a spinning reel, casting or fly fishing reel or what, but I'm sure you do.
The crank turns easily and the line guide moves back and forth just as you'd expect. There's some silvery finish missing on the side opposite the crank.

Vintage ENTERPRISE 16 CHERRY STONER Hand Crank Pitter! - eBay (item 310015486698 end time Jan-23-08 18:53:58 PST) This vintage metal kitchen tool is heavy as cast iron, but silver in color and embossed, "16 Cherry Stoner, Enterprise Phila. U.S.A." It has a big screw to clamp it to a table or counter edge.
I don't know what the 16 stands for. The year it was made? I researched on eBay and found another model similar to this but with an extra part. It came out in 1917.
I think you feed cherries into the big chute, turn the crank to squeeze them through a small opening and they come out the little chute. Do the pits come out with the mashed cherries or stay in the first chute? I don't know.
The crank turns easily as does the clamp screw. The silvery finish has much patina.
