josko, those hooks have all broken down by now and shouldn't be used in all fairness to the fish. Best thing to do is send them all to me and I'll dispose of them in the proper and most ecological manner possible.

Hope you saw the humor in that ! I have some of those white boxes also and I'd like to know their vintage too. I've used a few of them and they worked fine. I have a feeling technological advances have much improved Mustad hooks since those were made and I'm thinking I'll leave my 10 or so boxes where they are right now, in my big fly fishing collection bookcase/display. Someone will chime in shortly as to vintage I'm sure.

Cheers,
