Title: can anyone tell me who made this
Post by: hipp2412 on April 15, 2023, 05:23:16 PM
This is an old box that my father had before I was born, so its old! Does anyone recognize it and maybe when it would have been made? This call made it through a house fire so it looks a little dark. Thanks

I reached out to a gentleman who has quite a bit of knowledge of call history .  Sent him your pics.  He had not seen one like it.  But he did say it appears to have been made in the 50s or 60s.

My best guess is tha it was a one-off or one of just a few some local craftsman made.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you for checking with your friend.  I thought too that maybe a hobby call maker  built this but it seems like there was a lot of thought put into with the hole position and the angle cut inside the box.
