Hi Lori Retors DÂ’Alsace was renamed Broder machine. The big reels were still called Retors and the small reels called Brilliante, all the same cotton thread, but no longer available. 2Z 46 w/cm; give or take a couple of wraps means that you are looking at the sort of thread you would use for fine Bucks Point, probably Sajou Fil au Chinoise 60/2 or 70/2.
