Bidding has ended |
This is a rare Mitchell 300 DL ('De Luxe') with gold plated details - "Made in France".
I inherited the reel from my mothers uncle who was a dedicated fisher for over 30 years. I suppose he got it for a birthday or when he retired or something like that.
As I understand it from the Mitchell collectors international site it's probably a version that was made between 1962-1974 in approx. 4000 units, and was available only in Europe. This conclusion is based only on the fact that my uncle lived in Sweden (Europe), and that the reel is inscribed only with "Mitchell 300DL" and no Garcia name or Balzer logo. But, as I said, it's just a guess.
There is a number under the foot, 4577263, maybe it can tell somebody something?
The reel doesn't seem to be used, but there is line on the spool so I don't really know - look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I've tested that it's working mechanically. It works just fine! The golden name plate attached to the reel is blank.
The wooden box seems to be made of teak and measures 6.5" x 5.5" x 3.7" (16.5cm x 14cm x 9.5cm).
