Still use my early 1970's Lynch World Champion box. Also from the 1970's my Stevenson's No. 430 Turkey Talker box call.  Louis Stevenson was a call maker from Wellsboro Pa.  He made calls from the mid 40's till his death in 1970.  His family continued his call business until 1978.

Love my Birmingham Lynch Box. Just sounds different than the newer Lynch's. Be safe......

Lohman thunder dome slate and lynch box. I carry the thunder dome with me all the time... I have one of the first ones without the turkey on the bottom of the can. I have another one with the gobbler on the bottom of the can..

I reckon that depends on your definition of vintage. I hunt a 1992 Cody World Class slate, its 29 years old, and thats older than I am, so plenty vintage to me!

I guess someone needs to define "vintage".........
PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Any call made when I was a young teen is vintage to me. That would be early to mid 1970's. Any older than me are antique! Ha!

I use some of my Dad's old calls.  I don't know how old they are but the newest one, an unidentified scratchbox is at least 25 years old.  His old slate is the best sounding pot call I currently own, but will test it against Gooserbat's glass call when it arrives  ;D.  I have used his box call he made in high school shop class in 1953 but find it too big and bulky to carry easily.
