| Post subject: | ps olt calls WTF? |
Ok someone fill me in on these olt calls and why they are so forkin high on ebay. I been looking at buying one of the single reed d-2, but there are some variations I'm seeing. The keyway, what is this seems to be on the older calls, and brings a higher price? Then there is green call called the timber, same design, but is it a double reed? I've seen that DJ ILL. has the business now but are they the same calls sound wise? Little help on these calls background before throw away my cash. I know some of the ole timers around here probably have some info. Thanks |

They proud of them. I got a couple in my collection but they were not bank breaking when I bought them. |

Olt D-2 with the keyhole.....the old ones are made from hard rubber rather than plastic. DJ makes replicas now. He has cut down a couple of mine for me. Many guys used to modify them a couple of different ways. They are collectors pieces now for the most part but many (including me) use them as their main call. I been blowin' one for a while now......even back when I had hair. LOL Mine was built circa 1929 |

Olt is an old call.. They started making them just after the turn of the century and continued til just a few years ago.. More D-2's were sold than any other call in history.. There are 3 recognized cut down versions; the LA, the AR and the IL.. Guys have been cutting them down for a long time and some that still do it are pretty well known in the call industry making calls under other names. Do some research and educate yourself about the call rather than bitching about the price. |

LOL.. I promised I wouldn't tell but I'll tell ya he makes some pretty well known calls.. Do some research on the calls to learn the order they came out.. Hard rubber keyhole, hard rubber, plastic, plastic keyhole, patent numbers no patent numbers.. The age is all in the material it's made from and what's printed on the sided (or not printed for that matter). |

Did a little research and found that the rubber calls were made prior to WWII because of the rationing of rubber, keyway was part of the manufacturing process and was not meant to have any effect on the sound, and the abv. of IL was changed 3 times throughout the life of the calls and can be used to determin the calls age. Also P.S. Olt will begin remanufacturing the d-2 on a lathe setup instead of injected molding this year. Thanks for the help guys. |

sniff it and see if it smells like a burnt tire. My oldest Olt says "Pekin, ILLS." with no Patent number and "patent applied for" on the plug You can buy calls from DJ that come modified like the old style calls right out of the box if you're interested in seeing the style differences......I've never blown one of them, so not sure how true to form they are. |
