Many years ago (approx 50yrs) I was bestowed this fly collection and wooden case when I was a more well rounded angler that still did freshwater. My waving a stick knee deep in a stream didn't last very long so it has been a collectable curio for decades.
I'm at the point where I am downsizing, liquidating, gifting, or selling some things I have and appreciate, but really don't use.
I don't know if any of these flys are considered classics and the case is all wood with plenty of water spot discoloration from the previous owners adventures. (probably some great stories there)

I've been trying to come up with a $$ figure appropriate to consider selling but haven't found anything close to base off of. Only new wood cases (empty) w/o flies.

If any of you kind fly anglers would shed some light on the worth of this vintage case & collection I would be very grateful.


*The 2 streamers at the bottom are not vintage, newer items I bought for striper & halibut in recent years.

I don't know what's wrong with your computer but there is a clear picture with the above post.  Cool looking case and flies.  I know nothing of the value.  Dominick

I'd love it for a living room display if you come up with a cost.

Looks like big attractor surface flies and some attractor streamers. Maybe oriented to fish not keyed in on a specific hatch. No idea about worth.
