Turkey Calls --

David A. Snider -- (1900 - 1987)


Fayetteville, Pennsylvania



David was born in New Franklin, PA and move to Fayetteville in 1928. He and his wife, Rebecca, had one son and two daughters. David was a carpenter and opened up his own wood shop in the 1940's where he made turkey calls, built and refinished furniture, and made gun cabinets and other wood items.

David was an avid hunter and also a gun enthusiast. He spend many hours hunting, observing wildlife and working on guns and of course making turkey calls. No one is sure how many of his calls were produced but best guesses say less than 1,000.

Blue Mt. Turkey Call

This is an example of David's walnut scratch box. It measure 5 3/4" long by 3/4" by 1". He started making calls in the 1940's and continued up through the 1960's. He sold his shop in 1970 so it's doubtful any calls were produced after this.
