Want to own a piece of Ernest Schweibert? – Lang’s Auctions will be selling 303 lots comprising the extensive collection of Mssr. Schweibert, on April 25th and 26th.

Original artwork, flies, rods, books, reels, manuscripts, and all forms of exotic tackle will be staged via live auction and eBay.

Auction houses commonly use eBay as a supplement to their phone lines, it’s important to remember that you still must register for the auction prior to submitting an eBay bid.

The complete .PDF auction catalog can be downloaded from the vendor annotated with notes on how and where the item may have appeared in a Schweibert book or article. Most of the gear is pricey, but with Ernest’s flair for the dramatic, none of us are surprised.

Flies and memorabilia from almost every famous fly tier of the last century, including every fly photographed in books by Bergman, Wulff, and Joe Brooks. To make it easy to browse them all, here is a rollup of the Schweibert items on eBay – consult the catalog PDF when viewing to answer any questions.

The physical auction locale will be the Holiday Inn, Boxborough, Massachusetts, to be held in conjunction with Lang’s Sporting Collectable’s Show.
