Title: Turpin Trumpet
Post by: aclawrence on April 09, 2022, 11:21:10 PM
Hey guys can any of you give me some info on the trumpet here. I know who Tom Turpin is. Did he make this trumpet?  My neighbor found out i turkey hunted today and he invited me over to look at some of his turkey calls. He actually had some pretty cool old calls.

Looks like a Steve Turpin yelper.

Yes, that's one of Steve Turpin's calls. Good callers. He's still making them. Pretty sure he's Tom's great grandson.

Ok thanks. I'll look those up. My neighbor had stuff from Ben Lee and talked about some old Lynch boxes he owned that appraised for 5k 10 or 15 years ago if I'm remembering correctly.  He had some cool old trough calls, jet skates, scratch boxes and stuff like that. I was totally surprised.
