Re: [VFB] selling flies now old time tying
Bob,
I know what you mean. My wife, her mother and grandmother were quilters.
When we moved, we had plastic tubs full of material. My wife worked in a Fabric
Shop for about 6 years.
She can't quilt anymore so most of the fabric was given away to whoever asked
for it.

I still have some stuff from Herters from back in the late forties. I am saving
what I have in my original wood Cigar box that was my flytying box. I still
have my Thompson B vise that I bought for 2.50.

I found some cork grip rings in my stuff. Marked on the Cellophane bag is 10
cents each. These are top grade cork rings like you can't get today, Now cork

Well I can blame it on Al, he said we should take the short cut to school that
morning. We did not have school buses back then. Either walked to school of had
someone take you,
Funny that I brought this up, I just got a call from Al about an hour ago and
we talked for 45 minuets, I reminded him about this and he remembers it real
well. We have stayed in touch all these years. He lives in North Jersey.

Re: [VFB] selling flies now old time tying
My big regret is my rod-winder that I had from Herter's. Someone borrowed it. We had a rod-building class and I took it. Everyone was admiring the rod-winder. I put it in the top of my cardboard box full of rod-building junk, When I got home, it wasn't there. Someone must have borrowed it and forgot to bring it back. I've still got a couple of spools of thread that have a Herter's label on them. They're probably about rotted out by now. I still have the first Herter's rod that I built. It was a bait-casting fiberglass rod that was as sensitive as a bamboo - a full-flex rod. You could feel every little bump in the grip. I should replace the guides on it, they're starting to look pretty skuzzy. a. On 10/15/12 12:56 PM, Anthony Spezio wrote: I still have some stuff from Herters from back in the late forties.

We did not have school buses back then. Either walked to school of had someone take you, Funny that I brought this up, I just got a call from Al about an hour ago and we talked for 45 minuets, I reminded him about this and he remembers it real well. We have stayed in touch all these years. He lives in North Jersey.

Re: [VFB] selling flies now old time tying
That really DOES date you. And I thought I was getting myself 'dated' when I found some stuff from a fly shop that closed in 1985.

Re: [VFB] selling flies now old time tying
p.s., Bob, all that really means is that you've been tying longer than I have. I started at what I thought at the time was rather late in life. Over 30 years ago!! ;-) a. That really DOES date you.
