I realize this is a bit O.T,but figured who best to ID a couple of old duck callers than double gun enthusiasts.
I suspect they are American and from the fifties or sixties.

Greg,

I'd think w/the marking 'Design Register' they are not American. If they were from here, it would say Pat'd. pending or have a patent number. That terminology sounds possibly Canadian to me, but I am not familiar enough w/the systems in place there to say w/any certainty.

Listed below is one site which does deal with "design register".

So I suspect more likely a Canadian origin than a British connection just due to geography. The top call is similar to CHARLES H PERDEW call for much earlier. Suggest you do a little research on duck call makers and their bbs. Someone there can give you the entire story. Calls are very collectable and they share their knowledge freely. With your fine pictures the interest should get you a fast response.
