Description
For the discriminating collector, is thisclassic vintage Mitchell
308UL, FIRST VERSION, FIRST RELEASE spinning reel that is in
highly collectible condition. Based on the serial# 024339,
this reel was made in France in 1958. The Patent# is 2.726.052
and was issued on December 5, 1955. As you can see, "FRONCE"
is molded into the side of the housing. Also this early version
has the round slotted nut on the axel vs. the hex nut found on
later reels. This reel was made prior to "FRANCE" being stamped
on the foot and "GARCIA" being printed on the side of the frame
in front of Mitchell.
Mechanically, the reel works perfectly. The bail is extremely strong
and snappy, the anti-reverse and clicker work perfectly when
properly engaged. Drag also works correctly.
Cosmetically, the reel is beautiful and has brilliant chrome. The paint for
its age is in excellent condition. The spring loaded handle is nice and
straight with nice chrome. I did notice a few scratches on the foot
and some light scuff marks on the rotor.
