Many Stickers were used on Mitchell reels for aesthetic and informative use. Due to poorly made aftermarket copies of these; stickers should not increase values except for one. These were the original ones first placed on reels to designate which wholesale “Distributor” was marketing Mitchell reels prior to engraving. The first to do this was Albatros followed by Garcia. Balzer and Arca started doing the same for a short period of time. All eventually had their name or Logo engraved directly on the reels. Balzer came back in the late sixties with another sticker.
