Any idea who made this box, or at least what the wood is?  Seller didn't provide the info.  Worse case I figured for $10.50 it would look good on the shelf.

No idea. Seller listed it as Amish made.  If so you will never ever ever ever find out who made it  :TooFunny:
Not sure about the wood.

I noticed that, but not sure how he came to that conclusion, b/c he said the call has no markings on it indicating anything.

The paddle on the wood is black and white ebony. I don't know the maker but I'll be you a crisp $100 is sounds horrible. I can tell the sides are too thick and the paddle drags on the back. Also it looks like the grain of the wood may be incorrect. In short, it's not a quality product, AT ALL.

I noticed that too, and placed a low max bet anticipating the call would need work to sound decent, if it was even possible to make sound good.  My expectations for it ending up a hunting call are very low to almost non existent.  If I can't do anything with it, I will give it to the wife to use for decoration.
