Mitchell 300 very smooth to wind with that iconic Mitchell click sound . Bail snaps -drag works -has the shallow spool not the deeper one -anti reverse works -made in France stamped on side plate -number on plate reads as 38142 -Handle side plate reads Mitchell without the name Garcia looks to be a 5 th version -pre 1960 also there is no number 300 stamped or written on the left side plate . Meaning this reel was made between the late 40’s to mid 50’s .
