found a whistle the other day that took yeeeeears to find. Cheap little thing really. There was indeed some interesting design characteristics. Yet it lacked that overall, jumps off the canvass look to it. Yet it was important to me.
prehaps dating back to 1910 ?? Flat and with an uneventful top ring for the chain. Inside there is a different tongue than usually seen. ( that WAS quite interesting )
Whats the point ?? Why collect it ?? There's the question for us all. It's personal. Hopefully it can stay that way. Unfortunately when others get involved —— a whistle can become more desiterable.
It is pervasive among all collectors to compete AND to do so sometimes against ones will or even better judgement. Thimk about that…
Really ?? to want a whistle because someone else wants it and not because one wants it on its own merit ??
We hear occasionally that a whistle is important to 'fill out a collection' Or sometimes the thought that a collection NEEDS a certain whistle to be a credible collection.Maybe we would call it an 'important whistle'.
probably the least personal thing a collector could do is collect, because of what someone else is telling us….
