dog whistle

bought a 1930s classic dog whistle recently and got it in the mail —

The problem ?? It was sent in a FLAT envelope. Unusual for a seller to go sooooo cheap, but none the less it arrived so.

Upon taking it out of its temporary home it turns out to be bent now. I say now, because in re-examining the pix previous it wasn't bent.

So damaged in transit. Should I write and send it back?? Love to, but the postage makes it not worth it. Especially since I can't send it back the same poor way obviously.

What to do ?? Well, try to unbend it of course !!!! ——- there we go….just a little bit more and SNAP the whistle breaks !!!!

Yah, thought you would find comfort in knowing that even after yeeeeeeears of collecting and working with whistles, I can still manage to get burned…

comforting isn't it ?? I mean you don't have to feel all alone if one of your purchases goes south. Now you are in good company ( if it isn't tooooo presumtuous to say so )
