    Description

    For the discriminating collector, is this
    classic 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.
    If you have any questions, please ask prior to bidding. Winning
    bidder to pay .00 for shipping and I ship the next day after full
    payment has been received.
    International bidders are welcome and all international shipping
