Garcia Reel Bag + Mitchell 408 Spinning, Manual & Parts Bidding has ended

The Garcia Mitchell 408
Serial Number 585312
Made in France in the Mid 1960s

This Midnight Blue Garcia Mitchell 408 comes in a rare Garcia leather reel bag, an extra spool, a spool arbor ,a 308 owner's manual and a 408 service manual. She has signs of light use or shelf wear as you can see in the photographs but is mechanically perfect having been fully serviced by me and ready for someone to take her fishing! I have attached after service pictures of the internal gearing. The last picture shows the spool capacity for a 308 but it was the same spool for this 408.

The Planamatic "Gleason" gearing and ball bearings that support the rotating head makes this reel a favorite amongst ultra-light anglers! Weighing in at just 8 ounces (227 grams), this reel is a thrill to fish with for the young and old alike!

Please note that I take large high resolution photographs that shows exaggerated flaws. I do this so you know what you are buying without any surprises when you receive the reel. Also know that as always I give you:
