Just came across an old dry fly box of my dads. Uncertain if this is a wheatley or Hardy .
This box is about 4` by 3and a half inches load of old dry flies very scantly dressed ,probably bought from old sonnys at Innerleithen,it has 12 compartments ,yellow lids and a leather cast holder with a place for tweezers.
It has no logo on it only states that it was
Made in England,and that also has pat app for.
Anyone hazard a guess if this of value and wether this is a hardy or a wheatley.
JUST FOUND THE LOGO ON ONE OF THE SIDES .SMALL TRIANGLE WITH RW.So there we have it a WHEATLEY anybody want it make me an offer.

Odds on it is a Wheatleys.Hardys stamped just about everything.

As ATR states, Wheatley did make boxes for Hardy

Thanks for replys
The link to the wheatley museum was just the job .
Turns out this paticular box gets a mention and that it is marked down as ' rr ' very rare. on the down side it has lost its tweezers and its not in the best nick but turn out that they could refurbish it at a cost.
Will post a picture once i,ve mastered the camera thingy.
