This very rare P.D.Malloch fly box is a swing leaf reservoir, designed to hold a large number of Salmon, Sea Trout and Trout flies to suit every water condition.
Finished in black japanned, with cream painted interior and holding a range of nickel silver spring leafs.
This 4" Malloch Sun & Planet fly reel offers some perspective on the size of this box which measures 12" in length.
And is designed to hold hundreds of flies.
From large 10/0 fully dressed Salmon flies, through to small Trout patterns.
A seldom seen item that occasionally appear through the auction root. Bears the maker's lozenge with name and patent details to front.
