ANTIQUE  TAN LEATHER FLY WALLET BOOK

Complete with a selection of Vintage Flies in various patterns

A beautiful antique tan leather fly wallet in good aged condition. The wallet comprises:

Two leather pockets - one at each side;

Four large vellum page size pockets - see fig 10 - excellent for traces, casts, steamers etc.;

Four double sided vellum pages with 4 pockets in each side giving 32 dedicated pockets for specific fly patterns/casts;

The wallet also has two original leafs of felt - see photo.

I've counted at least 50 flies in the wallet excluding the 'bug lures' and the no-eyed hooks - see fig 7. I've never seen flies like these bug lures - they look like bluebottles and one looks like a cricket - the other looks like a parr - they appear to be made out of hard rubber - maybe gutta percha? and they have gut loops at the fron - no eyes. - very unusual!!.

The flies on the inner leafs are old vintage eyed traditional flies - a nice assortment and very well tied - see fig 8.

I like in particular, the flies on the last felt leaf - every one of these flies have been tied on double hooks - they are extremely well tied and although showing signs of age, they look unused - VERY NICE!!

Altogether a very nice leather wallet in lovely aged condition complete with original leather strap which looks to heve been repaired before (see fig 1) - the strap leather is a bit tired at the front but is still very supple and perfectly useable. The stitching is burst in the inside front pocket - the leather is fine and could be re-stitched easily if one had the correct thread - see fig 6.  I cannot find any makers marks to pin down its age - Its certainly old but has aged beautifully - lovely colour and patina to the leather.

So there you have it a very attractive old leather fly wallet with some cracking vintage flies    - extremely collectable, lovely colour and in good aged condition so-"have a go or you'll never know"

thank you for looking RR
