Title: Zach Farmer from Earl Mickel Collection
Post by: Trumpetyelper on February 15, 2015, 09:20:54 PM: Just before Johnny Morris purchase the Earl Mickel Turkey Call Collection I was able to negotiate this 1994 Zach Farmer Holly Yelper. I am thrilled to have this piece of history, but it's also a little bitter sweet. I purchased it assuming there was no shot the collection would remain together, but after hearing that Johnny purchased it I couldn't help but feel extremely luck and a bit guilty. There's also a really cool Lon Ricci story with this trumpet. On the flip side I will not be donating it back.

It was a pleasure meeting you Friday and showing me the caller and giving me the history.

When did Jonny buy the collection?
They were still selling calls saturday morning.
Thanks,
Dave

Post by: Trumpetyelper on February 16, 2015, 08:04:07 PM: I was told that Rob stopped by the booth and saw the feeding frenzy and called Johnny on the spot. I am very thankful to have the call. I actually bought several calls. So thankful I acted because I was really on the fence. Actually, my wife said no initially and then got a massage at the resort. Not sure what happened, but when she returned she started forking out Benjamins. Happy Ending for all!!!LOLOL

Post by: GR8CALLS on February 16, 2015, 08:13:48 PM: It's possible that Keck played a part in the sale. I was told long before the calls went to Nashville that Johnny was looking at it and was going to cherry pick it. Rob had been in and out of the booth, beginning Thursday afternoon. So he was well aware of the activity. Something flipped the lever!
