Mitchell M.T 340 vintage telescopic fishing rod new old stock

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This listing is for a Mitchell telescopic fishing rod, model M.T 340. The item shown in the photo is a fishing implement, identifiable by its elongated shape and tubular appearance, typical of telescopic rods. The inscription "MITCHELL" is clearly visible in dotted white lettering, as well as the marking "M.T 340" in a white oval, indicating the specific model. The exterior finish is matte, in a dark color (black or dark grey) with white details for the inscriptions.

The text "CANNE TELESCOPIQUE ANNEAUX" (TELESCOPIC ROD GUIDES) is legible on the visible part of the tube, specifying the type of rod. The inscription "4 ÉLÉMENTS - ENC. 1,10 m" (4 ELEMENTS - PACKED LENGTH 1.10 m) suggests that this model is composed of 4 retractable sections, although only the inscriptions and the exterior part are visible in the photo. No accessories or packaging are shown in this view, the item being photographed outdoors against a undergrowth background, placed on a raw wooden surface.

The rod's surface shows no visible signs of wear or scratches in the photographed area, which corresponds to the "new" mention in the keywords. The overall appearance is clean, with no apparent defects. The graphic style and overall design are typical of fishing rods produced in the late 20th century, which justifies the use of the term "vintage."

The design is sober, with no decorative patterns other than the functional markings. The end of the tube visible on the right features a silver ring (metallic appearance), with no indication of the specific material (not mentioned in the keywords, not visually identifiable).

Condition
Used item, sold as is. No visible defects in the photographed area, new appearance consistent with old store dead stock.
