Pewter whistles are probably one of the most overlooked antique and rare whistles.
There is a rich dark grey, that only pure pewter conveys when it has it's own very rich patina — sometimes over 125 years old !!! . Yates brought pewter whistles to a whole new level as early as 1870.
Here is a sneak preview and a chance to buy early before it is presented on the website. A whole collection that took YEEEEARS to gather !! Whata jump start for a new collector and what an addition for an advanced collector !!!
48 whistles — from several countries. There looks to be Yates, Dixon, BGI, and various unknown manufacturers.
Note those beautiful figurines of HOOF, FOX and DOG from Yates ?? That twisted pattern GSW from France ?? The early dual window round from Yates or France perhaps ?? Oh, and that double chamber !!!
Almost 50 whistles averaging under 32 dollars a whistle !!! Sold as an entire collection —–The whole collection for 1500.00 dollars.
We are brokering the entire collection to the first buyer !!! You may note there is a mixture of pewter and brittania whistles. Different ages too from 1870 to 1920s it appears.
Shortly we will be presenting these on the website, but here is a peek ahead and a treat for all those perusing the blog —– to get them before anyone else even sees them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
If interested please enquire and we have more pictures we can send ??
