Centered in this environment just described is the foremost ( I think so anyway ) whistle manufacturer of all time. Clearly the dominant force in the UK ( somewhat like the BORG of whistle manufacturers there ) and eventually around the world.
Among the collectors came a driven student and undoubtably self sacrificing one at that – Martin Gilchrist. An analyst even !!!
Now he gets together with Simon Topman who KNOWS whistles as he owns Hudsons the maker par excellence.
AND ????? ……. Records !!! Oh yes, those most valuable records at Hudsons that date back to the beginning of the whistle emergence 19th century.
Well re-emergence might be more accurate.. How fortunate THAT was !!!!!
So, no ordinary book is Collecting Police Whistle by Martin Gilchrist and Simon Topman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yet it may be that it is underestimated as just another collectors book…. Hmph !!!!!
How is it NOT ???
Let us count the ways together ……..
