Re: More car boot finds
Cheers MGs. Missed a Mitchell 320 today, the guy wanted a fiver so I thought I'd wait til later to haggle. Went back and he'd packed up and gone home. Never mind I'll get it next time!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: More car boot finds
A second hand/antiques type store this time.
£3.00 spent for a ver nice condition Intrepid Regent.
Nice and smooth and bonus spare spool.
One question, does the bail arm look right or has it been bent?

Re: More car boot finds
The bail arm is totally different to my Regentwhich has a roller, I will try to post a picture later

Cheers Gents.
Dave the box is for a monarch. But that's what it was in so I didn't grumble!

Re: More car boot finds
That bail arm could mark it as an early version of the reel ... I have 2 'Continentals' (circa 1959) with a very similar bail arm design, though in reverse ... as the Continental rotated the way Mitchell's do.

Re: More car boot finds
Cheers Mal, I'm pretty sure the bail arm is correct. What I'm not sure of is wether it's bent out of shape?

Re: More car boot finds
Here's the bail on my Regent...
LL, if the bail arm works on yours then I would guess it's not too bent (if at all), and if it doesn't work then yes, it's bent
