Description

When Will Primos launched his company, the first name was Primos Yelpers, Inc. He made diaphgragm calls himself, and outsourced other calls to expand his line. The Fornery Brothers, Paul and Joe, had a mold made for their plastic pot they called the Dual Reflector. Primos sold that call for a very brief time, with less than 200 of them (however the Fornery Brothers continued to make the Dual Reflector for decades). Those early pots can be distinguished as they had '(R) Trade Mark' on them and no address; however, the Fornery brothers scratched out the (R) since they didn't get the trademark. Those pots also have 'Akron, OH 44312'; all later non-Primos calls had the full address, and they don't have 'Trade Mark' under the turkey logo. The call came with 2 strikers: a 1-piece birchwood striker and a walnut 'shell' with a plastic peg inserted. Both strikers were attached to the pot with a double lanyard.
