figured id make a post to get this forum going..
let see some pics if you have them or hear what you have in your call collections..
unfortunately i only have 5 calls... the three on my lanyard (daisy cutter, daisy cutter and olt) and then a new old style if i feel the need to replace one and my comp call.
this summer i want to go to some garage/estate sales and see if i can get some old calls. i want to eventually have a display case full of old calls that i think are neat even if they arent worth a nickel.

Here's some of my grandfathers old calls I had and made a shadowbox to put them in. Includes many Faulk's calls, a Mallardtone and a J.C. Higgins. The "checkered" one is my prized possesion.
I also have started my personal call collection which includes a Hambone I purchased in 1979 in addition to the calls I am now making.
Also have put together a shadowbox with many old lures from the 40's and 50's.

I'd sell now while the market is hot......if you wait much longer you wont be able to pay someone to take it off your hands......
