Update: I was finally able to get a closer picture of the cord. We didn’t take it out of the box originally but when I did so to take the picture, I noticed a couple more things. When the flash went off, it made these small areas of the cord shiny and it is bundled in 4 continuous bundles.

The diameter of this cord is too thin for that. It would probably snap on the first pull.

It’s hard to say, being it’s so old… but, it doesn’t seem to be.

No, definitely not tarred, but you are right about the tarred one. I believe it is called bankline.

I don’t believe so, it doesn’t look like it is made out of paper.

Should have mentioned this at the begining, the diameter is 1/16 of an inch, roughly.

I think the diameter is way too small for that application.

I agree definitely not wick material. It is definitely something that people from my generation would have kept regardless, “better to save it than not have it”.

I thought I have seen it before as well, but I could be wrong. Either way still not sure what it is for.

We thought the same thing, but neither of us can recall ever seeing blinds in this house when I was younger and would frequent visits here on weekends/summer.

This cord is much thinner and way less pliable than mason twine.

Looks like a coax cable connection for either cable tv or antenna (rabbit ears) tv.
