For sale here we have a very special and rare photograph of Gary Howells in the R.L. Winston shop circa 1950s. This 11" x 16" photograph was acquired from the Howells estate in the 1970s by Craig Lynch and is one of three in existence, the others owned by Lynch. There is a small bend in the bottom left hand corner of the photo that occurred during shipping.
In the photograph Howells is seen measuring a finished blank section with a micrometer.
This photograph is a rare and candid look into the San Francisco Winston shop and the bench of Gary Howells. Truly a treasure to the history of fly fishing and the bamboo fly rod craft.
