"Two-person bird-caller. Use only one hand while holding binoculars or
field-guide in the other. Ideal for bird-watching with a friend."

That's correct. I still have mine (1991 vintage) in its box so I don't
lose the rosin capsule. On the back it reads:
The Audubon Bird Call
When twisted, this simple birchwood-pewter instrument will produce
sounds which attract a variety of wild song-birds. Now the standard
song-bird call throughout the world. The capsule contains rosin.
Use a little of it occasionally to renew the call's voice. Keep the
call dry.
