I have a picture to send you from my regular camera.  I never could get the
Nikon to focus outside.  It was snowing that day also and the snow made it
difficult to focus.  I will send it in your package.  I just sent you the
digitals of the wallet and the hooks.

I still want to see the picture of the electric christmas moose (classy)
iain
I will.  I still owe you pictures of the wallet and flies also.  I take 
them
outside as I haven't figured out how to use a flash with the Nikon 995.  I
don't think it will work today with the blizzard.  Everything here is 
closed
and it's cold!!!  I finally found an easy way to print them at Walmart.  I
know I'm slow but photography isn't what I planned on when I took up fly
tying.   I printed 91 pictures Friday.  :)  I got my own book going here
now.

Deb ... can you send me a pic of the double with piggyback hook .. iain
Mark
I finally got a copy of Hale and Kelson.  Hale is great!!   I got the 
second
edition so I have all of the dressings in the back.  I found a single JC 
eye
pressed between the pages of the book left from a previous owner, which
puzzled me.  I finally decided that it may be that it was the only example
of one he had.  Maybe someone gifted it to him to use as a reference.
They're so common place now we take them for granted.  If only a feather
could talk.  The silk gut is dyed..  I knew that would get you.  :)
Iain ...   One of these hooks is a double with a piggy back!  I also have
two that look like precursors to the Waddington Shank.   They have a ring
eye holding the treble with a long single wire and a return eye on the end.
One hook is labeled from an antique dealer Bartleet and Harrison 1880.
There's lots of fun in this box.
