Its actually a slate caller fashioned from the shell of a red-eared slider turtle. A modern rendition of a crude caller that was popular in the 1950's...

I might be wrong but a friend on mine used to have one somewhat similar to that. His was a slate call in a turtle shell. Supposed to be able to kind of aim the direction of the call.

Those old Lynch boxes were some of best calls ever made imo.

Awesome collection
Posted on 3/4/13 at 6:27 pm to wiltznucs
I don't turkey hunt, but that is an awesome collection.

History agrees with you, the Lynch World Champion design is the most widely duplicated design in the industry and has been for 40 years. All the box calls made by Primo, MAD, etc are variations of what Lynch did. Most custom box calls are too...
You'll never be able to measure it but I'd bet no other caller has lead to as many untimely turkey deaths as Lynch. My first several birds were all called up with a MS made Lynch model 102..

Nice collection, I have a few that are too nice to hunt with but mostly just hunting grade stuff.
