If any one has a serious interest in all of them, contact me. I am not interested in breaking them up. Photo and descriptions of each call may be viewed at the bottom of this page. SOLD

P. S. Olt Duck and Goose Set in Silk Lined Metal Case. Included in this set is a wood Olt 800 Goose Call and a wood Olt DR-115 (double reed) Duck Call, as well as a folded instructional pamphlet for each call. The one for the DR-115 states it is for the “New” DR-115. I believe the wooden Olt calls began in the early 1960s. It looks like the case remained open and the side with the indentions fr the calls collected some dust over time, which I bet will clean up for you. Both calls are Mint. Price for the set is $150
