300 Handles

Post by LanceV »

Hello all new to the forum. I have a question on the 300 handle. What year approximately did Mitchell change from the spring loaded handle to the knurled threaded handle. Thanks

LanceV,
:text-welcomeconfetti: to the Mitchell Reel Musuem.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the handle change occurred late in the 6th version about when they started using the plastic clamshell cases. Maybe, about 1966, 1967.

Regards,
Ted Lanham
