    Antique Shotshell Extractor Whistle

    Not one thing has been posted in "Vintage Reloading Gear" since 8/13 so here you go.
    This is currently on ebay and not mine. Item # 234154730954 The seller says it's a Shotshell Extractor Whistle. Ps It sure is harder to add photos on this site. ?????

    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    Looks entirely practical for bird hunting over dogs, solving two problems at once. One tool to call your dog back and extract a recalcitrant shell (probably paper) from your shotgun. What’s not to like about that?

    Yes Froggie, I wish I was out in the field using it just like you describe. It did sell for $317.00. I didn't bid as I thought it would be expensive. The old stuff still sells strong.

    JW, what I do in a case like that is make my own substitute for about a buck-two-ninety-eight if I really want/need one. Right now, I don’t have a bird dog and my extractor lifts the empties from my OU 20 ga very well, so I just saved $317.00!

    Europeans and the British made shell extractors, shell extractor whistles, and shell extractor knives, all to help remove wet, swollen shotshells. The knives are particularly fascinating:
