Steven, the Elsie Darbie darby flies were dressed by Elsie. I got the pictures from Terry Hellekson, who in turn got the flies from Glenn Overton's fly collection. Yeah, the Wonder Wax Glenn Overton. He used to hang out at the Darbee's house as a kid.

Here's a tie of mine, a version of the Cross Special, designed by Rube Cross. The fly, according to Rube, was not named after himself, rather the fly is a "cross" between a Hendrickson and a Cahill.
