BHVThree Mitchell reels were made by Mitchell in France for exclusive sale by Le Bazar de L’Hotel de Ville commonly called B.H.V pronounced "Bay Hash Vay" in French. The first release was the Mitchell 314 series inscribed with only Super BHV. A Mitchell 300 and 306 with only BHV inscribed was produced later. There was also a second release of the 314 with only BHV inscribed. The B.H.V is just across the street from the Hotel de Ville in Paris, France.
 
Bicentennial ReelA Garcia Mitchell 300 that was repainted by Garcia red, white and blue in 1976 as a presentation gift to select retailers in celebration of America’s 200th Independence Day (1776 – 1976). See our Collector’s Gallery for more information.
 
Big Game ReelsKnown as the 1000 series, the first three issues – 1040 (4/0), 1060 (6/0) and the 1090 (9/0) were offered in a wood display case. These were sold in both European markets and by Garcia starting in the late sixties. In 1977 Mitchell introduced the 1120 (12/0) that was only distributed in Europe. The 1000 series of big game reels were not made to compete with Penn as some believe, but to compete with the Californian brand also made of anodized aluminium side plates. It is the Mitchell 600 series that was originally designed to compete with Penn. It was later on when Penn came out with their own series to compete against all metal reels!
