Magnificent! I own two similar larger clip fly boxes, which I use for wets and bucktail patterns. I love this style box.

I tried posting these pics as a follow up ( http://classicflyrodforum.com/forum/vie ... 3&t=138938) of my soft hackle / spider storage boxes, but the files were too large.

I couldn't find the small, leaf style Wheatley clip boxes Stateside, so a couple months ago, I ordered two more boxes that I filled up with spiders and soft hackles.

Bob,
Absolutely stunning collection! I feel like I'm looking at history! I think you're ready to go a-fishing!
You do great work! I hope you buy more Wheatley's in the future!!
