Someone please correct me if I am wrong, Mr Keith was a sheriff in Il.A tree was dying in the local cemetary and Mr Keith ask if he could cut the tree down and make some turkey calls from it! He was given permission to cut it down and use the wood for calls. At some point Mr Keith was diagnosed with a terminal illness, as he was dying he was making the calls and selling them on Ebay.Not many were made, maybe less than 300, those early ones all went for over $300! They are great calls and most were made like mine, very few were made from slate or a few aluminum, so this is a really rare caller listed!
