garage sale flies

[herefishy]

Are these collector's items or junk? Day's Flies, a Jock Scott and a Lemon Grey Made in Ireland by: Robert Day & Son Ltd. Cork. Packaging looks new, so either put away or not old.

I don't know if they are valuable but they are almost certainly old. This ad is from 1919 http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...iGCTjXt5QBk3Aw

Good grief, that is old!

Shadow box. Nice old flies that deserve preservation.

This post reminds me of RADIO where you had to use your imagination. It was a fun experience but TODAY, there ARE cameras. Did I miss something??

Congratulations herefishy...I would love to see photos of them, if you are able

Here are the flies, not very good pix, as I don't want to take them out of their wrappers.
The Lemon Grey is on the left, the Jock Scott on the right.

Yep. Those need to be displayed. Shadow box time.

I think that the cellophane wrap means that they are post world war two. The shop appears to have survived for a long time.
