antique whistle talk

wow, the great weather has brought out the collectors !!! Super time yesterday the first day at the antique show in Portland !!!

So much fun face to face 🙂

Not sure what we talk about more, whistles or history behind the whistles — or is it a package deal and that is what is addicting ??

Side note–saw a revolutionary era ( 1700s !!! ) whistle on eBay today. Well they wrote 'it is believed to be' — way cool line huh ?? I guess now if you believe, it is almost as accurate as if it actually is so ?? — be careful when you buy !!!!!

Turns out it was another BGI round pewter whistle made about 100 years later than they advertised — but hey, probably sells better saying it is Babylonian or such, right ??

Well that is part of why we put up the website — easy research ( if wanted )

Other side note…. been thinking ( I know, dangerous ground ) what to do for our anniversary…. How about another SPOTLIGHT bonus ?? Hmmmm….. what could we post ??

How about one on the 20th ( that is mid way this anniversary month ) we post another ground breaking SPOTLIGHT ?? Very little has been posted on Amercan whistle manufacturers huh ??

OK then, there you have it….that is what we will do —- stay tuned……
