Tim bullock makes a nice one. I think Mike Lapp might make one as well.

Here were the winners at the NWTF this year. I have not seen either of their calls.

1st place - #557 - Ryan Roosa
2nd place - #741 - Jim Shelley

Winky Hicks makes a push pin that doubles as a slate call. I believe it is called Sweet Wild Hen.

You are not mistaken. There was a call made back in the nineties I believe that had a slate bottom sound board built into it. I have one and can't remember the name. I'll have to see if I can find it.

Keowee Game Calls, Travelers Best S.C. used to make a push pin with a slate soundboard. I believe I bought mine from Midwest Turkey Supply maybe 20 years ago but I never carry it. There is one for sale on eBay now if interested.

Yep. 

I used to work Joe's booth and sell them.

Don't let the small price tag fool ya.   ;)
