Not a fly, but if you live near the ocean and remember this one, you're probably spending more time in a rocking chair than on the water. WWII era tin spoon. I was making a copy, which is why the holes are closed up.

Great thread. I still have a couple packs of that old Ligas & Hareline dubbing around here. Also have a couple of those Herter's bobbins.

 

How about a Chase bobbin! First bobbin type I used. Have a couple of those too & still occasionally use them.

 

I am also the proud owner of one of those tin spoons, sent to me by the world famous Peter Jacobson! :D

Here's my contribution! All of these are between 90, to over a hundred years old, and still very useable.

 

Regards,

Mark

Ha ha! I was just about to post this. J Dorin bobbin. This one had a second smaller tube that slipped inside the larger one for two sizes. I used to use the small removable tube to tie nail knots and lost it at some point.

So far, I think perchjerker's Tiger and mvendon's feathers win the prizes for cool old stuff. I like the tin spoons too.

Size A Nymo was recommended by Polly Rosborough. It was flat and fairly strong, sort of like a slightly larger version of Danville Monocord.
