Alcott Tinsel

To say these Antique French Tinsels are special is an understatement. There just isn't any better available.

Our Friend Ron Alcott, in my opinion, is the man responsible for the current resurgence and popularity of Classic Salmon Flies at least here in the USA. In the early 1990's Ron found a source for beautiful antique tinsel. He began spooling and selling it on a limited basis. I was fortunate enough to buy his complete offering back then and it is absolutely beautiful. It has always been my favorite tinsel but unfortunately no longer available. That has changed. I've finally convinced him the tying community needed it so Ron has spooled up 20 different tinsels on small wooden spools as shown above. There are approximately 10 yards on each spool.

Update February 2013:  Well, we have sold out of more than a few of these tinsels.  See below for those still available

Currently Available are fine lace silver, med oval gold and silver, fine oval gold and silver, small oval silver, xfine oval gold, fine flat silver, and fine oval red as shown in the pictures below:

 

Twist refers to round tinsel and Lace is 3 strands of twist, twisted together.

I've tried to show detail as best I can in the pictures below:
