These calls sold on Ebay for $1577.  I recognize the Loftis Chatterbox but not the other push pin, trumpet or scratch box.  Which call or calls drove the price that high?

It was the trumpet ... That's a Turpin ,,, Tom Turpin --  Very collectible and valuable

Steve Turpin still makes them and lives in Memphis Tenn

I figured that may be a Tom Turpin trumpet but how does the purchaser know? Just by the looks?

People who collect his calls will know ... That kind of money i'm sure he contacted the seller for more detail and pictures ...
