"Old Faithful " Scratch call

[DaveHawk]

Ive developed a scratch call that was handed down to me by and old friend who made these. He found the original back in the 60's hanging in the attic of a abandoned 1850 house in Sharpsburg Pa. He figured its age civil war period. It plays unbelievable on pot call but can be played with just a piece of slate. I will be selling them for $15 with the sale of a pot call.
I like using my strikers but this scratch call has won me over for the tone and intensity of the sound.


The call is "Old faithful" the original. Both side play. Old Faithful original was walnut. I do use maple , hickory , purple heart but 70% are made from walnut


Wayne Carlton sold these calls that Keith Casteel made for him. The call has a long time following and proven reputation

I have these tuned ready to go. These have no finish on them to ensure the original quality sound. $ 20 ea. includes shipping.
