The original spools are very fragile and the ends will crack off with the slightest pressure, even with ordinary handling.  I've yet to see one that wasn't cracked.  If you have one in good condition, I'd recommend preserving it rather than using it in the field and if you get some of the wire, wind it on a stronger spool.

  I parted out a Gibson Girl and have left over the phosphor bronze spool 
  of wire. One circular end piece of the spool had been cracked in half 
  and missing but the label is still there. If anyone needs the wire for 
  reconstructing the GG kit contact me off list  . Its free for postage.
