FLIES
I have no idea who made this beautiful display book
of flies because it is not marked but.
This is a nice old display box made in Japan.
This box is called the "POPULAR FLY KIT".
This is another example of beautiful display box.
It says "SAKURA BRAND" "SUPIOR FISHING TACKLES" Made in
TOKO JAPAN on the box. It has sliding plexiglass windows over
the flies but this box is so old and fragile that it is not safe
to open them.
This is a card of flies made by SOUTH BEND.
Some one has trimmed the card so the top
is missing with the name.
This is an old boxed set of 8 Orvis Weighted Nymphs.
I believe these poppers are made by SOUTH BEND.
These are beautiful Hand tied flies from an unknown maker.
Many small time lure makers who work out of their homes make
and package lures this way and sell them to local bait shops.
It is hard to see the flies inside the packages but there are
some beautiful flies and streamers here. These are very old.
They were probably made in the 20's or 30's.
This is another example of beautiful hand tied flies
from yesteryear. These came from the same collection as the ones
above.
The bottom two pictures are hand tied and are very old.
I have no idea who made them.
