iv'e been given quite a few fly tying and fishing gear from a friens widow whos husband passed away.
among the hoard of flies they were mainly stored in old tobacco tins.
golden virginia,senior service etc,and i was just wondering if there was a want for that such of thing.
any interest greatly appreciated.

My thoughts on the matter are that it's still a bit soon for them to be collectable,In fact with the seal that GV started putting in their tins in the early 80's (I think) If you open these tins you can still smell the tobaco very clearly.
I have a few.

my father was a heavy smoker of the old golden v and gave up almost 15 years ago.indeed jim the smell and the tin brought memories back to us both.
one of them is filled with flies, the other with feathers,some with raffia other with bits and bobs and a few moth balls.
infact i have in the collection a receipt from verniards for 79.00 dater 1973 for material,hooks and a vice.
