An old one......
« on: January 23, 2020, 07:24:07 PM »
I'm sure I have posted this one on here before. I put a fresh coat of Renaissance wax on it this evening and figured I'd snap off a few pics with the good camera. I wish I could find out how old this call is. No signature and no number. All I know is it is an old rifle shell wingbone call made out of cocobola from my favorite call maker Mr. Billy Buice. Anyone have an idea of when it might have been made?? I talked to Mr. Billy about it a couple years ago and he thought maybe the 80's but he was just going off of my description of the call. If I ever get up to see him I will bring it with me and have him look at it.

Thanks. It plays real easy. I think easier than any of my others. I killed a bird with it opening morning 2 years ago.

Nice call.

Call was made before 1990 all of Mr Billy's trumpets were signed from 1990 to present. If you give him the wood and # in the bell he can tell you who he sold the call to.
