You pair of Palestine's . It will go pretty quick I would assume, some of those collectors have very deep pockets. I wonder how many anglers under the age of 30 are aware of who Dick Walker was?

I wish Dick Walker had stuck to breeding rabbits.
Rabbit breeding!
Surely that must be one of the easiest jobs in the world?

Wasn't there a Mitchell with the reel foot stem at the back like that? Might not have been a Mitchell but I have seen another reel that had the arrangement.
Another reel that looks like it was designed with a ruler.
The French, budget-priced 'Galion'. These were made by Mitchell as a cheapo starter reel during the late 60s into the 70s, but seemingly weren't considered worthy of carrying the prestigious Mitchell name.
I can't remember seeing too many of them around at the time, presumably because Intrepid had the low-end niche well covered in the UK.

After my Winfiled reel a Galion was my first 'upgrade'. Mine would have been around 1972/3 and I'm pretty sure it was a 'Garcia Galion'. And a shade or shades of blue/green rather than black?

Yes, there were certainly green ones Dave. There was of course a Mitchell tie-in with Garcia from about that time.
Garcia sold an almost identical reel called the 'Kingfisher' - perhaps just a name tweak for the US market?
(Gladding also sold some re-named Intrepid reels into the US market).

I do remember it was quite horrible and the bale arm quickly grooved. I think the Winfield might actually have been the better reel!
My next reel was a 320. I couldn't afford the 324 with the push button spool.
