I've always wondered what that call is he's toting? It almost looks like a Glodo.

The book copyright is 1894. I believe it is a 1st edition.

the quality of the image is a little rough
i don't see enough taper at the end for a Glodo, or most early calls - that is why i thought it looks modern -not that i'm any expert this one seems to have two parallel levels to the barrel with a ring between

Leffingwell Book
Here are pics of the Title and Copyright pages. This is a very old and interesting book. Whoever owned it was a fan of Annie Oakley. There is a newspaper clipping from the New York Herald Tribune dated Sept. 18 1954. It is a book review of "Annie Oakley of the Wild West". There is also a magazine clipping of a picture of Annie Oakley after a 1911 quail hunt in FLA. On the reverse side is an advertisement for International Harvester pickup trucks. Based on the image of the truck I would put in the late '40s, early '50s.

Interesting! I'd never blown it up like that. It's a big call, I can't place it.
