Message:: [QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 58305, member: 267"]Hi - CCThat's the one that was referenced as Revolutionary War (!) 1770-1780 Superb turned horn whistle. Wood mouthpiece held in place with a pair of round headed steel tacks. Outstanding old untouched surface. According to Neumann and Kravic’s, Collectors Illustrated Encyclopedia of the American Revolution, “Whistles were apparently a common means of signaling and giving commands” A similarly turned example is pictured on page 272 (image “9″). Whistles of this period are rarely found. Still sounds great. - Asking $120 Really different results on that one, but that's the only one that gave a date... one other called it a police whistle - sold for $32[/QUOTE]
