Any help with approximate years made, value, it other information works be appreciated. I don't think I have ever even used it.

TEJAS trapper Joined: Jul 2017 South Texas Brush Country	The founders of Burnham Brothers were based out of Marble Falls Texas. They opened up a sporting goods store there back in 1959. Murray was the front man, and the father of modern day predator calling in my book. He was an absolute legend when I was growing up in the 1970's. His father Morton was a predator caller before the term even existed. The Robertson brothers aquired the business in 1991, and are in Menard. That would date the call to no earlier than 91 I would guess. Most of the howlers I have seen are made with cow horn or plastic. I can’t say I have ever seen a metal version of the call. I would bet the metal horn produces a much different sound than the standard models. It will be interesting to hear what Gary has to say on the history of the howler.
