KLNC,
Two of my favorite types of RW boxes featured in one box - a Kilroy in the small waistcoat size.
Very cool. Still on the hunt for some myself.

Re: Vintage Richard Wheatley Clip Boxes
#83Okay Wheatley fans, here are two early boxes marked for the retailers Army & Navy Ltd. and Farlows. The Army & Navy box is a much earlier version than that posted in post #78, which has the an opening for gut casts as well as two sides of clips mounted on Xylonite set up to hold 75 flies. The Xlyonite backing on the middle section has the RW Lozenge marking.
The C. Farlow & Co. LONDON clip case is set up to hold 119 flies, has the "Made in England" marking and the large RW lozenge
Cheers,
Joe
