Mitchell Reel Forum

Hi All
I would be curious to know if anyone has a pair of Mitchells with sequential numbers ? Preferrably any early half bails ?

Kind regards
John

JohnEBoy,

Yes there are documented 300’s and 308’s with sequential serial numbers. Many years ago Wallace had a 6 pack of if I remember were 308’s. I do not believe I have ever seen a set of 1/2 bails in that order. Great question
Kind Regards, Scott

Hi Scott
Many thanks for the response .
Having 6reels in sequence is pretty cool as is pairs of 300's


The Question came about because I have C43207 & C43209 pretty close but not sequential and I have bee curious about this for a while
, I think it would be amazing if there were early sequential half bails .


Kind regards

John

The closest I have is a pair of early 308s, numbered 009956 and 009959.

Hi John,
Somewhere in the Mitchell collecting world I would have no doubt/would not be surprised that there are sequentially serial numbered half bails.
