Title: Lamar Shorty Call / Do Dat
Post by: tucket on March 06, 2014, 04:25:36 PM

I was wonder if anybody has information on Lamar's shorty or Do-Dat call. I have a Lamar paddle call of Cedar and butternut which is around 11 1/4 inches long along the bottom. Looking at Cost measurements this seems to be around the same dimensions of his Do-Dats. Lamar made this call in November of 1992. I had heard that he produced some shorties in the early 90's and just curious about the history of this type of call. I will post some pictures this weekend in the Parlor.
Thanks
Ed

Neil got the idea for his Do-Dat from seeing Lamar's' "Paddle Box" call. That is why the dimensions are similar.

This is Neil's # 1 Do-Dat call for dimension purposes.

Bob Harwell probably could shed some light on the subject
