A knockdown reel comprising a two part tubular hub and having a pair of end flanges releasably attached to opposite ends of the tubular hub by latching means capable of being released in order to separate the end flanges from the hub and thereby minimize the space consumed by said components in packaging, shipping and storing reels of this type. The tubular hub parts include aligning ribs which cooperate with aligning slot in circular recessed sockets on the inner wall of each end flange. The sockets having a bottom wall with curved guide projections thereon spaced radially thereabout in order to guide the ends of the end flanges into proper circumferential engagement with the side walls of the circular sockets.
