Edgar Sealey and Partridge made most of Veniard's hooks I have been told. They came in folded paper packages in larger quantities and in elegant little rice paper envelopes when you bought 25. I still have many of them left and the crinkly feel of the paper is a pleasant memory from my early fly tying days.

Thanks John. I have bought quite a few wet fly hooks in that kind of envelopes from Flyhookfiller. They came from Veniards. I suppose they are at least fifty years old, maybe more. Probably more.

Completely amazing and I have to get out my Marinaro books and look for these oblique references to wet flies.Thank you for sharing these.
