This lot comprises two fishing reels. The first is a Garcia Mitchell 302 Saltwater spinning reel, identifiable by its vintage style and markings “garcia Mitchell” and “302 SALT WATER.” Web intelligence confirms this model is often identified as “Made In France.” The second item is a silver-tone Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 5500C3 baitcasting reel of classic round design, prominently marked “ambassadeur,” “The Original,” “5500C3,” with the Abu Garcia logo and a Swedish royal crest. This reel is accompanied by its original black box, which details specifications in English, French (“Fabriqué en Suède” – Made in Sweden), and Spanish (“Fabricado en Suecia” – Made in Sweden). The set also includes an “ambassadeur” instruction manual, an Abu Garcia oil bottle, and a small spanner wrench.
