Spotted a huge stash on Kijiji this morning, looks like an estate situation.

Haven't tied a fly in a while now, and it's way more than I could use in a decade. Thought I would pass it on.

Thanks I forwarded it to an old friend via email. When I lived in Norfolk in the 70's , there was a flytying shop in either Delhi or Tilsonburg, ( old timer memory lapse ) selling materials both instore and mail order by the name " Vance's or Vance Bros." wonder if this may be related.

Impressive collection. I tie but that is a little above my commitment level. Probably won't go cheap.

The contents in the desk alone is worth more than a grand.

Most definitely, especially if there's some polar bear and harder to find feather capes from before they became rare/restricted. But, it's a sealed bid auction, so it may go for a good price depending on interest. It's only worth that much to the right person, to everyone else it's a pile of dead animal parts.

exactly, unless the person selling it knows the value of it all, then it will go for cheap

my buddy picked up a huge collection...it seems that the collection had passed through the hands of a few people who had taken what they wanted and then passed it on.

 

This is nuts though.

That's some pretty serious dedication to fly tying. I have a Tupperware full of fluff for when I'm short wooly buggers for steelhead, but that guy took it to a whole new level!

Pretty good deal here if someone wants to take up the hobby.
