whistle rings

Now there is an obscure subject !!! The rings on whistles — who notices ??

I do.

But whyyyyyyyy you ask ?? Good question ….

—cause they are fascinating. Sometimes nickel silver. They would of course match up to the nickel silver whistles right ??

Then there are steeeeeeel split rings. Not just any split rings though. Gotta be those old very tough steel rings that are kinda skinny and very tight closing too !!! Great for having rust but that can be easily removed right ?? yup… tell ya later….

However, after the subject starts we have to discuss sizes to !!! Large rings or at least appropriate for each whistle. The circumference has to match the hole or they don’t move after installing do they ?? Finding the right ring can be frustrating.

In fact finding solid old brass rings can be very hard huh ????

You can actually date your rings to match your whistles and makes them more ‘fitting’

Brass for brass, or sometimes certain manufacturers didn’t use brass but steel only. Some times split rings sometimes solid.

Wow, what an interesting subject. I could get lost in it….where was I ??

Yah, gets complicated huh ?? Whoda thunk ??
