Restored another 308
Restored another 308
I restored this 308 for my 7 year old grand-son, he likes camo. The reel was missing 70% of it's paint. I forgot to take pictures before removing what little paint it had.

Hey Don, I normally don't like "custom" paint on a restored Mitchell reel, but you have set the bar high on your restoration work, nice job!

Re: Restored another 308
it's a beautiful reel, Bill Burke's story is very interesting and his reels have won many important competitions. I have seen many articles on the subject and read interviews with him as the protagonist. Bill is Dead but he left these incredible objects in memory. I only have a 908 in my collection with that modification, previously it belonged to Dennis Roberts, another myth in Mitchell collecting. Thank you for sharing your 308S B.B with us.
