Title: Sleeper Production Push-pin
Post by: Tom007 on March 30, 2024, 08:04:38 PM
Wanted to share this rare, production push-pin that really goes un-noticed. Yes, they are very hard to come by. This was a production call made by Knight & Hale called the Witchy Woman. These were produced early on when Knight & Hale were in the height of their call making business. It sold for around $34 bucks, which at the time was a premium cost for a push-pin call. It is extremely well crafted, made with high end materials. You can tell by the quality of the joints, the medallion on the striker, and a better, higher quality soundboard that they went all out on this one. The results: a great looking and phenomenal sounding call. This call will bring in a wary Tom for sure. If you are a push-pin user, you won't be disappointed if you can get your hands on one. Enjoy the photos, good luck this spring and be safe......

I picked up one on E Bay last week and I would have missed it if it wasn't for a good friend of mine here at OG. I didn't even play around and wait to bid on it, I looked at it and hit buy now and it was mine.
Last year I was outbid at the last minute for one by $5.00 so I wasn't playing that game again. It's brand new still in the original packaging!
Three days later I seen another one on E Bay for sale and the guy was asking over $300.00 for it!
They are out there just hard to find and people are asking a high price for them.

Tom, I think I made a good deal on this call. I was impressed with the workmanship and quality for a production made call.
Selling for around $34 bucks when they came out of production back in the day and yes at that time it was a premium cost for a push-pin call. I remember back so many years ago when I first seen a pushpin call. I might be mistaken but I believe it was a Quaker boy pushpin and at best they were considered a novelty. I didn't know anybody who used one! I would see kids playing with them while at the hunting camp but nothing more than that.
Now that same call is demanding 9 or 10 times its original asking price of $34.00. Who knew!
