Sweet looking reel Fishabout. Back in 2011 at the NFLCC held in Daytona I was privileged to meet Ray Adams. Ray, Dennis and I had some inciteful talks about Mitchell reels. Ray did research on the "G" series reels, and you would be surprised that any survived at all. Same year we had the 1st Mitchell meeting with a host of people including Wallace. Heavy discussion on how to help people understand and get help with their reels. This site is a result of that. I see you also have the wooden box. Any paperwork or extra goodies?? Thanks.

Congratulations! Arguably a centerpiece of a Mitchell collection.
