Fly Rods

[Old and Reliable]

[QUOTE=Austin W Hogan;10818]The rack shown was in Harvey Donaldson's sporting goods store in Little Falls, NY from the end of WW I to the beginning of WWII. The vertical rack is on the reverse side. It has been the barrel rack on my cleaning bench for the last 15 years. I think Harvey made the rack.
The streamer is self explanatory

Best, Austin[- Austin- I couldn't quite make out the signature etc- I have two matukas in shadow boxes in my den- one tied by old friend Bill Hunter- and the other by Paol Jorgensen- I also have some Skykomish Sunrise patterns possibly tied by writer/artist Russell Chatham- a fly fisherman's fisherman in deed, like the late Lee Wulff- The Royal Wulff was always one of my favroite patterns as well-

Like the cleaning bench- Maxwell House and Hoppe's No. 9- like Parkers and Leonards- things that made us great- well at least we can still get Maxwell House and Hoppe's--
