Description

Many folk art calls were fashioned after calls turkey hunters saw and either could not afford or could not easily obtain. The M.L. Lynch Jet Slate has been a much-copied and proven design. The call pictured is of such a style, and the carrying case with a sliding lid appears to be made of a cheese box or something similar. Cheese or cigar boxes are found in vintage turkey calls as they were materials affordable and accessible to turkey hunters.
