Title: Vintage Scratchers
Post by: muzzleman on March 17, 2015, 09:23:29 AM

Here is a couple scratcher's i found in a old hunting vest of my Dads. One is made by Lohman and one is made by a local fellow  T.Z. Williams and Son from Flemington  Pa. And the third one was made by a friend of my dad and he said was styled after a Rhoads call Not sure How old they are but he said he hunted with the Williams call for a long time, and that call still sounds pretty good. It looks like it is nailed togather.

 The Williams call is a nice one for collectors, and it is surprising how well it sounds, being a nailed call. I love the way they were designed to nest together. Those three have probably been the down fall of many turkeys!   *up* *up* *up* *up*
