That is an Olt call, that particular one I believe was made back in the 60's. I have several Olt calls from that time period. They made severl models of calls, duck, owl, hawk, predator, fox/coyote, turkey, crow, squirrel, bob white, etc.  They were good calls in their day.

Thanks Stoner for the info. You wouldn't happen to know how to operate it would you. do you hold a piece of chalk in your hand and run it over it or am i missing the other piece to the call. Thanks Jason

..Thanks, Mike.

We actually started a thread about these calls in Collector's Corner.
They're neat little calls. Here's the link:

Jason--
Originally the F-6 calls did not come with strikers. They were made to be run against the stock of a shotgun. By the looks of the wear on the lip of your call, that is most likely what the original owner of that call did. Later F-6's did come with a short striker.
