I went looking online today for one of those Old-Time fleece lined leather nymph/streamer wallets. You know the kind I mean, the kind that the old timers used to carry in their inside tweed vest pocket. I don’t know if I’d even use it, but I just kind of want one. So I went looking. I couldn’t find one anywhere but Orvis. It’s a nice wallet. Not quite what I was looking for but a nice one just the same. I think it must have been the proto-type of all leather wallet because they want $98 for it. I was floored. Sure, I’m old and remember when milk was $0.40 a gallon if you brought your own jug, but $98 for a wallet. Give me a BREAK. Does anyone know where I can find one for $5-$15? Or maybe a trade?
P.S. Why doesn’t the computer keyboard have a cent sign? You know, the one with the c with a line through it.
God Bless,
Joe, guess what?
email me your address, I have a new one. It’s yours no chargs… say’s something about FAOL on it, and, no, I don’t have any more… 
well, lookee here.
way to go jc!
JC, nice gesture. Joe, there are a few of those floating around. I have one, but it’s not for sale or trade, or even to give away…yet.
Holly Cats Jim,
Thanks. I’ll bring it to the Idaho F-I with my home-made boo stick.
God Bless,
Joe, email us your mailing address - and you’ll have to find a tweed jacket now to go with it all
Deanna,
I already sent my snail mail address. I can’t believe you guys. Bless you both.
Joe
Seems to me that Orvis used to sell them for about $10 with 8 flies and a coupon for a long time.Used to be in all the flyfishing mags.
The Orvis one with flies was not leather, but with the flies it was a good deal.

Wow JC, what a terrific gesture!
:twisted:
Joe,
Have one on my keyboard.

Will see ya at the ID FI.

LEATHER FLY BOOK #650169
(this is the Cortland one)
“Heavy duty, quality leather with snap closure. Lined with genuine shearling wool. Measures 6” x 6". Suggested Retail $14.95."
That looks a lot like the one I am sending, but our cost was a bit above that… lol I am sure you will enjoy it. Some years ago I gave these out to 'Friends of FAOL. Lost money on it, but made a lot of folks happy, that’s what counts.
Notice to all who don’t know:
This thread, and others like it are what FAOL is all about…
SHARING & CARING!

:mrgreen: Denny,
You must be using a keyboard made by Underwood or Smith Corona. These new fangled machines don’t recognize cents, only dollars. Wouldn’t it be neat if we could put the sound of a ding into our puters every time we hit the Return Carriage key (Enter Key) ?
C’Ya in Lowell,
Lotech,
Yours for the asking if you want another one. If not, up for grabs to the first e-mail request after your reply. Don’t use it and hope I can find it in all the junk. Prefer my “boxes” now.
Grn Mt Man,
Thanks, I’ll take it. Check you mail. This will give me one for nymphs and one for streamers.
God Bless,
For cents, hold down the alt key and press 0162 then release the alt key, like this ?.
Thats my 2?

jed,
Totally cool. But how does one remember 0162?
Joe,
Wallet’s yours. Enjoy. Will try and get it out in mail ASAP.
