Any ideas on value? I grabbed it from a box of my great grand dads about 20 years ago.

Several hundred, to a Lynch collector, priceless if it was your Granddad's.  Good one.

Thanks for the comments. The last post looks like  its from the price guide online.

I know its a 12 hole and its a smooth side.

With the help of another member and Mr. Allen Jenkins Im interested in what we find out.

Priceless in my opinion...

I agree. No way could i ever part ways with that one. Good luck...

I have my grandfathers that he bought from ML Lynch after WWII.  Apparently ML Lynch was driving around the south selling the calls out of the trunk of his car and my grandfather bought one in his hometown on Stamps, AR.  It is the 12 hole with grooved sides, always thought it was valued around $800-1000. 

If a collector knows more I'd love to learn more about it.

I think you are correct with the price for a 12 hole with grooved sides.

Current market for a call like yours is $350 - $450-ish unless it's a spotless example.  Then add another $100 - $150.


Regardless of a monetary value assignment, you have a super great piece of turkey hunting and turkey call history on your hands, as well as a family heirloom.   CONGRATS !!!

I have my wife's grandfather's Lynch Model 102 World Champion made in 1958 in Liberty, MS.  Three holes in the top.  What's it worth?  Thanks for any replies.

If it says made in Liberty, MS  it was made post 1970 when ML Lynch sold the company to Allen Jenkins, who moved production to Mississippi. Only the calls stamped made in either Homewood or Birmingham have any collector interest in my opinion.

Nice keepsake, but no real monetary value. Keep it as an heirloom and hunt with it if desired. There are many thousands of Lynch/ Jenkins calls out there.

Regardless of what it's worth its a cool piece of history.
