Mates,
Here are two graphics from Garcia Mitchell showing the external parts of a Mitchell 300. Hope this helps someone. (I posted the internal parts on a previous post titled: KNOW YOUR MITCHELL 300-Internal Parts.)
Kind Regards,
Bill

When did the bail become “Stainless Alloy” all of mine are brass or maybe bronze chrome plated,I’m betting brass.I own 6 ,5 righty’s ,1 lefty,one righty is a Taiwan,a bit different mechanically but still a reliable and tough reel
Regarding the diagram all I can tell you it that it came from an original Garcia Mitchell Owners manual that came with every new reel. I haven't been able to find any kind of a date on these manuals. We can identify the reel shown as a fifth version Mitchell 300 and my best guess would be a 1956-57 reel.
Who knows who wrote the manual and what they knew.
Could you possibly consider a bronze or brass chrome plated bail a "stainless alloy", well maby
Kind Regards,
Bill
