ELO reels were made by Birkby's of Liversedge in West Yorkshire England. ELO stands for epoxidised linseed oil which is the resin they were moulded from. These thermosetting resins, commonly known as Bakelite, were all the rage in the 1930s. Birkby's started making tram dashboards and eventually moved into motor car dashboards. They lasted until 2012 when the recession finally finished them off.
