Does anyone know how Mustad Hooks were shipped in the 80's?? I was looking for bear hair on a taxidermy site and this guy bought out a hugh lot of fly tying stuff at a garage sale. The gentleman having the yard sale used to have a fly shop and closed it down.
One of the auctions was for 139,000 + hooks. I bought 2 thousand from him and I've checked them against my Mustad's 94840's and they look exactly alike!!!! Bend the same and I've even tried breaking them and they broke at the same time in the same place. Same thing with the 3399's
Here's a photo of some of the hooks

Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
