    Description

    For the discriminating collector, is this
    classic vintage Mitchell
    308UL, FIRST VERSION, FIRST RELEASE spinning reel that is in
    what I would call, MINT condition. Based on the serial# 075144,
    this reel was made in France in late1958 early 1959. 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 just started using the hex nut.
    This reel was made prior to "FRANCE"
    being stamped
    on the foot.
    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 I would say is in mint condition. I don't
    believe it has ever
    been on a rod, no telltale rod seat marks.
