Hand me downs..
« on: April 23, 2011, 09:44:33 PM »
I was at my Dads house the otherday, and he laid this on me!! I am kinda proud of it as he has had it put up for many years! I plan on putting it up just as it is behind some glass to keep the dust off of it! It is a 1909 Charles Perdew Crow call.

I'd gladly take a hand me down like that any day!!!  I've seen some Perdew calls go for some big bucks on ebay.  You've got a real treasure right there!

Very nice!
Care to give any more details?
Looks like metal band on the exhaust?  Maybe cedar body and walnut boards?
I don't know much about Perdew calls just geussing.

Sorry Highlooker, it is a cedar call with a brass decorative band. Not sure the prupose of the band on the bottom other than decoration? Not sure of the material on the mouthpiece or the reed, I assume it is a brass reed but i do not want to try and disassemble the call to find out. I will try to do some more research on it when I get more time.. I just thought it was a nice gift and a real piece of history!
