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.
