Never seen one with 3 holes drilled in the top like that the flat head screw has also been called into question (as original??) ... we're doing some investigative work on this thing to confirm all of it, 257 ... knowing uncle Shorty, i wouldn't put it past him to "mod" it; he tinkered with stuff all the time, esp cars

My world champion box has the 3 screw holes in the lid. I think that's factory. The screw, I don't think so. Could be wrong. good to know; & ya, the screw has been "noted" -- we'll see about it ... do you know roughly when yours was made (with the 3 holes in the lid)? BTW -- for those worried about this call -- believe me, i *only* plan to hunt with it on a bluebird day ... that's what i've always done with my custom calls; if the weather's bad or there's a threat, i've always just used my mouth call and/or a waterproof slate/striker ... none of the many boxes that i own have seen bad weather

That tension screw is not original. I have a few of the original screws if you'd like me to send you one.

But I am on the fence of whether we should just use these things for their intended purposes. Lord knows most of the original owners did.

Flat head is correct. But Ned's got an original. Yours ain't.

Dr. B Don't know why but in my head this reminds me of the old Pace salsa commercial. Everybody is checking their calls now and saying "LIBERTY MISSISSIPPI!!" instead of NEW YORK CITY!

I have a Birmingham-made box and jet slate. Bought both several years back just to have. I doubt I'll ever use them, but I probably would for a sentimental reason as you've described. Best of luck!

The three holes were for putting a tooth pick in them to keep the call from moving too far.
