Remember Who Made The Downeaster Duck Call?

A fellow named Steve [?] started a waterfowl supply co. in the 1990's and had a catalog.  I believe that he was in eastern N.C., up toward Elizabeth City, Edenton, etc.  He made calls, and one was a duck call of his own design called a Downeaster.  Some guys I saw more frequently back in those days bought them in cocabola and really liked them.  I always meant to get one but did not act in time, and he closed the catalog business.   I lost track of it and tried recently to identify him through google, but have had no success.

Do any of you remember that catalog and callmaker?

His name was Steve Early, the catalog was S.W. Early Waterfowl Supply. Hope this helps.

I figured someone here would know.

Would you mind posting  up a picture of the calls?
