REEL #12  1956

    The "Super Cap." "Mitchell 314" on left side, wide anti-reverse lever, push button spool.
    In his book "Mitchell Collectors' Value Guide" Dennis Roberts dates this reel as 1961 and for the most part I have used his dates on this website, but if his date were correct in this case then it would mean that Mitchell abandoned planamatic gearing in 1956 with the "Mitchell 304" and then returned to it with this reel five years later, and I don't believe this to be the case. Also, please see Reel #14 in this regard.
