What a great piece of history.

Those are nice callls and its great that you have a collection of calls from the PA callmakers.  We have over the years many great ones and these call are a big part of that history. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

The Pennsylvania portion of.my collection/accumulation is mostly production calls from some of more historic callmakers.......... Smith, Gray, Stevenson, Hall, Rohm and others.   Not high.dollar stuff.  Just really NEAT stuff.

As far as the area of distribution,  I know they spread as far South as one can go in Virginia. I have two of them. My late brother-law, passed in1996, He gave me one of the "sweet butternut" calls a year before the tragic accident. Some time after that I called Smith and ask Him for a higher pitched one of the butternut calls and He sent it to me. Nice little call.

Since you asked........I don't remember Smith Calls growing up in Berks county 70's early 80's. We mostly used lynch. Later I learned of them.

Berks county, starting in the 80's, was probably Joe Hall / Hally Caller country.
