civil war whistles

March 5, 2015 by

been really busy putting things together for the spring show and wow it really is spring early !!! 60 degrees already !!!

But during this time it comes to mind…what is a Civil War whistle ??

Seems simple yeah, but is it ??

As soon as someone puts it in a book, it is so correct ??

Like the BGI pewter and even lead round whistles that are pictured and then repeatedly promulgated as Civil War whistles ???

The problem is that those whistles were made 13 years after the war ended in 1865 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm……..
