308UL, FIRST VERSION, FIRST RELEASE spinning reel that is in
highly collectible condition. Based on the serial# 076839,
this reel was made in France in 1958. The Patent# is 2.726.052
and was issued on December 5, 1955. As you can see, "FRONCE"
is molded into the side of the housing. Also this version
has
the hex
nut on the axel vs. the slated nut found on the
earlier reels. This reel was made prior to "FRANCE" being stamped
on the foot.
Mechanically, the reel works perfectly. The bail is extremely strong
and snappy, the anti-reverse and clicker work perfectly when
properly engaged. Drag also works correctly.
Cosmetically, the reel is in nice condition. the chrome on the bail wire
is pitted as shown in the pictures. The paint has scuff marks on the rotor, side
plate, the top and bottom of the foot and on the side plate.
