This Hand Crafted, Vintage, Wooden Scratch Box Friction Turkey Call W/ Wooden Striker was made by a local craftsman from Dover, PA Robert Emig (1923 – 2012).
I am a hunter, but not a Turkey hunter, I tested with a few call techniques that I was shown by another hunter who does hunt turkey and it sounds good to me for various types of calls such as clucks and yelps. As any hunter that uses calls knows that every, handmade call has a unique sound to it!
This call is signed by his hand engraving on the front by the maker, Robert Emig and 1997-1. This one has a really unique design to it! I purchased these directly from an auction where his family was selling off what looked to be calls he was making but never had a chance to sell. Some still had his price stickers on them. The striker itself is sturdy and ready for use! Just use regular chalk on the striker as a rosin of sorts. This call and all the other calls we will be listing for sale from this lot appears to be only tested but unused in the field so lots of life and many years of use in it!! These are a popular style call as they are pocket sized and work well! This would make a great gift or addition to any collection or Hunting tool kit!
Mr. Robert Emig was born on November 22, 1923 and was the son of the late Robert P. and Mary (Krout) Emig. Mr. Emig unfortunately passed away on August 25, 2012 at the age of 88. He was the husband of Betty J. (Ross) Emig for 65 years.
Robert Emig was a young man who proudly served in the US Navy for six years during & after WWII as well as 2 additional years of the Korean War. When he came home from the military he started his career in building construction, technology, & maintenance. He later retired in 1985 after being the Supervisor of Buildings & Grounds from the Dover Area School District. Mr. Emig spent the rest of his retired years doing things he loved the most; hunting, fishing, gardening, & making these absolutely beautiful turkey calls!
We are proud to be able to bring to market these pieces of functional art, hand crafted and signed (stamped) by the late Robert Emig. These can be used today as they have been for hundreds of years. The wood grains & finishes are a stunning addition to any collection or hunting tool kit! It is thought that these types of calls can date back as far as the late 1700’s to early 1800’s!!
