Original TOM TURPIN Crow Call Phonograph Record & Instr

Up for auction is a really neat find from a local estate sale. This is for a Rare and Original, Tom Turpin, "Crow Calling", Phonograph Record, along with the original instruction sheet. It did not come with the crow call. The record measures 10" in diameter and the back side has an embossed design. There's no speed on the record but I believe it's a 78RPM? The label on the record has an image of a crow and printed beneath the crow is; "Crow Calling, Tom Turpin, 1150 Eastmoreland Ave., Memphis, Tenn, Not For Broadcasting, No. 6386". The front page of his instruction sheet shows an image of his crow call and instructions for it's use. The inside page provides additional instructions on assembling and tuning the call. It also speaks of "The Crow Language". The back page refers to playing the phonograph record. The record appears to be in good condition. There is one very fine 2-1/4" vertical hairline that I've shown two close-up photos of, with the last two images. I have no idea if this is a scratch or the beginning of a crack? It definitely doesn't go through and I only saw it after I held it up by a bright light. And other than that, I didn't notice anything else. There are no chips and it's not warped. The paperwork has some light tattering around the edges and a couple of very tiny holes. Overall, this rare set is in good vintage condition. Also the estate had no phonograph player, this was just part of their collection. So, I have no way of knowing the sound quality of this piece - the set is being sold as-is.
