    Here's an old whistle-it seems to be made of horn or bone,there's a metal rod that allows a valve to pivot,on top of the valve sits (floats) a pea -sized ball (perhaps to weight down/close the valve).The piece is 2 1/2" long by 3/4" across.
    Any help re date & usage would be very welcome-thanks !

    Dog whistle? What's it sound like when you blow in it?
