Can you date these reels?

[LuckyLady]

Pretty neat stuff here, a friend of mine gave me these and I am not sure when they are from

I think the Ocean City 320 Reel is from the 1950's?

The other conventional reel says Garcia Mitchel - Made in France and that is it.

I would like to get these cleaned up and the garcia is damaged. I am sure if there is someone that can fix it. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm no so kinky that I'm gonna start dating reels when there are perfectly good wimmins out there but they both appear to be late 50's early 60's...

Post those pics at orcaonline.org. It is an old reel collectors site. I'm positive someone on there can help. There are some really old reels that those members have.

I dont date reels, Only banana loving blow ups like in the other thread.

The conventional reel is a Garcia from the 1970's(mid to late I believe). I remember my father having one of those as the color and handle were pretty unique for the time.
