I picked up this Ben Lee Gobble Box for 30 dollars. It is in real good shape. Looks a lot like an Old Lynch 102. The thing that amazes me is how good it sounds, it's all turkey. Does anyone have experience with these? It really sounds good to me. Be safe...

Looks to be in amazing condition.

Yea, that's what amazed me. I think it is from the 70's. Hopefully some of our members know more about these. I haven't seen many...thanks Chester...
I killed my first turkey with a Ben Lee gobble box that is signed and I still have it. Congrats on a great fine and a great call.

Thanks so much, be safe my friend....
Good price I had 2 one went to my oldest boy it was his Paps. I thought it sounded bad but when he was at a distance, 70 yards or so that thing sounded amazing I didn't gobble with so I took the I hooks and rubber bands off before I gave it to him...The second one will go to my youngest boy...I hate to give it up I still use it from time to time.

Thx, best of luck to you this season
Real cool find , from a amazing turkey hunter , and a call company pioneer, I always respected Ben Lee
There is some really nice articles and YouTube videos talking about how Ben's turkey call business kept a good number of people employed in his local town , at one time I think he was the #3 turkey call producer in the country
They said he had a heart of gold , and a incredible amount of southern boy wit that made him the life of any gathering , its been a number of years since is passing and I was considering making a nice tribute post about Mr.Lee
If anyone has any old vhs tapes of him hunting I would love to see them one day

Thx Shannon. He was a real pioneer for all of us. His knowledge back in the day was second to none. Anytime I get a chance to get one of his calls, I will...
Very good pick up for a very good price. They sound pretty good using them like any other box. They gobble very well.

I have 4 of his calls ,the gobble box, twin hen box call, 2 of his trough calls, with the aluminum, and slate, with the strikers. i bought them back in the 70s when i first started to turkey hunt,, they are signed by Ben Rogers Lee...Also had a instructional cassette tape, somewhere...Killed alot of turkeys with those calls, and still use them..The aluminum trough call has a cedar peg strike with a corn cob on the end of it..
Neat old call. I had seen a Fred Bear turkey call I wanted but I did not have the money they were asking at the time. I went to the guy when I got the first stimulus check to try to buy it and he has sold it the week before, I was less than happy. Love anything to do with Fred Bear and you add turkey hunting and I am in love.
Not sure if the screw on the lid is original.
I recently found one of these Lee's ; as well. Mine has different printing. On one side " Old Hen for Spring Hunting Hand Made and Tested by Ben Rodgers Lee World Champion Turkey Caller. On the other side " Young Gobble for Fall Yelping and Challenging Gobble for Spring, Lee Calls, Inc Coffeville ,Al. 36524" . It is signed " Ben Lee May 7x " on back of paddle.
