Default Flies... not a parker

Not a Parker, but I know that there are some great fly fishing equipment that has been discussed. I was sorting through some of dads stuff and came across these. He was not a Fly Fisherman. I know he mentioned a friend had given these to him, and belonged this gentleman's father who was a fishing tackle salesman. Any information is appreciated.

It looks like moths got to the wool and hair of some of these. I don't know of Sawyer as a commercial tyer, but it may have dealt only in western states. The materials and patterns look like 1950 - 1970 era.
These are from 1964. Tandems were quite popular at the time

Best, Austin
