As for the hooks, these ARE from Ray's shop in Nyack. Whether that's his writing on the back, you'd have to compare it to other written articles of his. I did some checking, and he use to market the hooks under his name from the shop. As you can see by the boxes, they were made in England. Ray passed away in 1967, but I don't know how long he operated his shop. He was one of the greats of American Fly Fishing.
