George Snyder  Kentucky reels 1805

Well, CNY Farmer gets my vote.  If this ins't the correct answer, it probably should be.  Snyder's multiplying ("Kentucky") reels formed the basis of just about every type of reel made today.  Although it did take some city-folk to perfect the design with the counterbalanced shaft ("New York" Reels)

As for my guess: The first artificial stonefly, Egypt, circa 1400 B.C
