Flaws and defects

In the top drawer of my tying desk, I have an old Wapsi fly company head cement jar. Since I started tying seriously in 1986, any defective hooks found in packages would be stored here…. Saltwater to midges, every manufacturer and country are represented here.
Why? I have no idea.

When I showed the title of this post to my wife said "
Ray, that could be the title of your biography." (I love her sense of humor. She makes me laugh.)
What an interesting collection!
Great photo! It speaks of countless hours at the vise, and missed frustrations on the stream (broken hooks could have been lost fish/grrr).
Thank you for NOT using these hooks on your swap flies...

Awesome photograph Dana !
I guess quality control is still a problem back then as it is today .
You have some very old hooks in that photo !

It's the Theroe version of The Island of Misfit Toys. Nice collection, Dana!
