That's the 1st one of those that I have ever seen. I will be on the look out. I go to several estate sales during the sumer.

Looks Interesting GN. I also have never seen one like it, but then I am not on top of the antique call market.

That's cool! I know all to well about ebay and looking for a vintage and/or hard to find turkey call! I was actually able to find an old Roger Latham True Tone box call, made by Penns Woods from the 1960's till around 1980! The man that taught me basically everything I know in the turkey woods, my older brother, has had one for YEARS and has called in numerous gobblers, both for himself and other ppl, including my first 7 spring gobblers! On the 2004 youth day I had an opportunity to "pass on" the tradition as I took his 14 year old son on his very first turkey hunt, and called in a giant 2 year old that he killed in full-strut at 9 steps! Needless to say he's now hooked, but i called that turkey in with his dad's box! Also, 1 of the longbeards I killed this year was called in with the "Roger Latham" True Tone box call that I purchased off ebay! Kinda neat I thought!

I would guess you made a purchase of a great old call at a bargain price. An Antiques Road Show kind of a buy. Im not even go ing to ask. Congrats
