Housed in a 12 1/2" x 9 3/4" x 6 1/4" tall wooden box is a metal fly chest including 5 pull-out drawers and over 140 salmon flies. The wooden box is marked "Alfred H. Cosden 903 Park Ave New York N.Y.", believed to be the self made millionaire and race horse enthusiast of "Ever Eastward: Alfred H. Cosden and His Estate at Southold" fame, who lived from 1872-1962. Most flies appear unfished, the full dressed and low water salmon flies measure from 1" to 3 1/2" in overall length, the majority of a larger size and in full dress. The metal chest is in Ex-/Ex condition with a locking latch (key included). A very nice group of vintage flies, with a possibly historic lineage.
