I am building out my Orvis model 1874 fly reel collection by adding accompanying vintage Orvis paper at least 100 years old—catalogs, letterhead, envelopes/covers, and especially early cardboard fly boxes; practically anything with the old Orvis trademark shown on the envelope below with the crossing rods and jumping fish above the 1874 perforated model. I will also consider very early Orvis fly rods.
Top prices paid discreetly and in confidence. Thanks.

Re: WANTED: early Orvis catalogs, paper and flies
Happy to report these “wanted” ads work. No responses for almost two months, then yesterday I received an offer of a nice vintage Orvis cardboard box from a former ORCA member perusing this site. After a little negotiation, the deal got done. It should go nicely with these...
New addition arrived thanks to this thread:

Thanks in large part to this wanted post and the benevolence of a fellow ORCAn, I just added this Orvis ephemera to my collection:
