Your vest looks a little “top heavy”. I can help you out by buying that OG pushpin-pin off ya to lighten it up? LOL, nice selection there!!!
I got to have that thing. It's the only call I can purr on. Really want another so I can sound like fighting purrs.

This is what I have,




- Appalachian custom calls Black Death (9/15)
- Appalachian custom calls acrylic/wood slate call
- Cody slate (unknown)
- David Halloran Crystal mistress

- Quaker Boy NWTF Box

- Wing Bone from my first gobbler

- Tru Tone batwing diaphragm (not pictured)

If anyone has any insight as to what model this cody slate call or the NWTF Quaker Boy box is, I would love to find out more about them. I got the box over 15 years ago at a youth NWTF event. I can't find anything online about either of the two.

I’ve got one of those same Quaker Boy boxes from an event I went to back about 25 years ago. Has a Dick Kirby autograph on it. Stupid me didn’t take care of it like I should have to preserve the ink, but it still sounds mighty fine. Basically turned it over to my 5yo now as “his call”.

I don’t remember there ever being a Dick Kirby autograph on mine. I’ll see if I can find an older picture.

I had him autograph mine when I was at the event. They used to have a big Jakes event in Edgefield that was a 3 or 4 day deal. If I remember right, kids had to be nominated by chapter heads and names got drawn to be an attendant. It was a really cool “camp”.

Roger Parks Double spur gobbler call or a glass in a paduak pot I make. I’ll interchange them. If it rains I’ll have a enticer next generation and leave the other two at home. Two strikers that came with Roger’s call and a striker I’ve had since the late 90’s of unknown wood or who made it. 3 or 4 mouth calls, all ghost cut, all the same call. My Corian trumpet from Kenneth Mullins or if the timing works out, my Ralph Permar Delrin .45 I’m on the list for.
Non turkey call items are a leather turkey strap, wet wipes, conditioning items for the pot call of choice that day, a bottle of water and a extra set of gloves and face mask.

You Cody Slate looks like an early model Cody 2. Nice collection there….

I’m pretty sure that’s an early Cody Envy slate. Not sure how many years they were made before they added the Envy in red on the back of the call. The glass had the name on the glass with the same artwork on the back.

I don't use a vest but this is what I'll start out with. Ipe/sycamore box in my cargo pocket, Twisted Sister in my coat breast pocket, Lewis Inzer trumpet around my neck and a Sadler McGraw ghost cut in my mouth. The lineup is subject to change daily.
