Title: Neil Cost Paddle call and "The Fat Lady"
Post by: trb136 on February 16, 2015, 12:55:47 PM

Well I have to say I am beyond happy with being able to get this call, as many of you know the Earl Mickel Collection was on Display in Nashville, I am by no means a collector, I only have a few calls from my favorite Makers. but I have always dreamed of a day when I could own a Neil Cost call. Well today is that day, I was able to buy a 1 of 2 Chinaberry Boat Paddle made for Earl Mickel himself, the other one Neil Kept because he didnt like it. This is a piece of callmaking history that I never thought in a million years i could own, The next day Johnny Morris of Bass Pro bought the entire Collection!!! I also was able to hold the "Fat Lady" best part of my trip...enjoy the pics..

I held & played both of those calls shortly after they were finished. The chinaberry was my favorite. You done good.
