Don't know that the grandson is doing any good for sneeds image/reputation from what I've read on there.

Its sad to see this mess of a situation. Mr. Lonnie was one of the best for a long time.

Nervous as hell about ordering calls from him recently.

I got a hot hen from him late March 2017 ,11 months ago,, slate is tight to the pot and sides no gaps no glue spots,sounds terrific. The striker was off center with the handle but angle wise it was straight has an arrow. Value wise I'd trade it of course for a platz cherry slate but any other slate offer no thanks.
Recent must mean last couple months because I got a nice one 11 months ago and plan on keeping it for life.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I just hope Mr. Sneed isn't getting hoodwinked by the grandson looking to make a quick buck.. I noticed on the auction the grandson is doing he said Paypal only, and Mr. Sneed has always been mail payment and we know he probably doesn't get on Facebook or the internet so he's going to be oblivious if it is happening.

I said I'd not post again but the ones I saw were about a year ago. It could be the difference is who actually made it for sure. We all have different work habits. Mr Sneeds name and reputation is on the line. If it's not him maybe he should reel in the problem.
All in all you can't continually put out inferior work and get repeat business. The problem itself will sort itself out. Hopefully no one here gets screwed and that was my only wish.

Looks like we're about to start a new collectors niche??? Sneed calls between what year and that year are now to be hoarded,bought,raised the price of but what were the prime years???

this is spot on. If you go to the Facebook page and read the posts pretty easy to see and now that auction... Wasn’t a huge fan of his calls to begin with but now I will definitely steer clear. Pretty sad

Received this yesterday.   Grandsons name on cover with Lonnie.    Finish is rough.  Could have been sanded more.    Sounds decent
