Default Oldest turkey call ?

Fellow fan addicts,
Each season there are new versions of calls, many with a new tweak or feature that somehow improves it over its predecessors. After a recent discussion with a friend I got to wondering, what the oldest calls folks are using are.

What is the oldest call you still have, that you used at least once to kill a gobbler? It can be any style. It has to be yours; inherited, bought, found or traded for. Pictures would be cool.

I can't wait to see the results. I'm sure there's a few awesome Neil Costs or Tom Turpins out there.

Me: Nothing special, a M.A.D. Super Aluminator I bought in 2001. It still rides in my vest.

Tom Gaskins call! My father grew up with the grandson and we have one of the few original calls with the original stamps on the box. Actually have a 4 of them.

I've got an Ashby box call that was bought from Wal Mart back about 1991. That's about it. I only dream of those special calls.

A used H.S. Strut glass call given to me by a fellow NWTF member who helped me get started in turkey hunting in 1994. It is still my fav. call and it has brought in many toms that I have taken.
