This is a Garcia Mitchell reel. This Reel works but needs to be greased up and cleaned up. This reel does have some wear (wear spot on spool), see photos for details. Serial Number on this reel is 010454 and I am dating this by "Original Mitchell Reel Dating Guide by Wallace Carney". The dating by Wallace Carney only found the earliest serial number to be 015999 but the reel that I have is even much earlier than that. Another interesting fact is this reel says Mitchell 306 instead of Garcia Mitchell 306. I am listing more of my fishing items today, so please take a look. Please email me if you have questions.
