Manuals and guarantee card

This reel has been used and the paintwork has small rubs and light scratches on the edges of the housing, the rotor and the foot where it attaches to the rod (see pictures). The reel is fully functioning with a smooth retrieve and working anti-reverse. The chrome is shiny and the bail spring is strong. 

The box is solid, with no cracks and a red 301 label on the side. The yellow tray has a small crack where the rotor sits but has not been repaired (see pictures). The extra spool is in a Mitchell plastic container with two small cracks in the lid.

This is a very good condition, fully functioning, 50 year old reel with box and papers, to fish with or add to a collection.
