There is a picture (a different one) of Rutledge holding a Parker hanging in the Drawing Room of his "Home By The River" Hampton Plantation on the Santee, Charleston County, South Carolina. I took a picture of the picture & I'll post it if I can find it.

Best Regards, George

If he made and sold 1500 of the calls it's amazing that so few have survived. The "Glodo" is the rarest of the rare and most valueable in the duck call collecting circles. I'd guess that there were far fewer than 1500 of those made and yet at least a dozen are known in collections. I think the 1500 number on the Rutledge turkey calls might be a little fat.

Attached is the article by Jim Casada, in his opinion Rutledge made approx. 1500 calls.They sell, if you can find one for about a thousand dollars.turkeyhunting200811_0062_fg.jpg

*chuckles* If Casada or anyone else has one for sale at that $1000 figure just send it to me straight away.
