Identifying whistles old and rare still..

March 26, 2015 by

got to thinking, time to pause…………… whew, that feels good….

Breathe….

Now let's hold for a second and regroup. What kind of whistles are we talking about ?? —— TUBE shaped !!! You know Metropolitans, GSWs, TUUUUUBE shaped.

Yah, they are the long straight ones that can be 'cracked open like a book' and fugured out – who made them, when , rarity etc.

The round whistles are harder. The beauforts are also hard. The dual tubes, the escargots, the varietal…the list goes on and on doesn't it ??

So why all the talk about tube shaped whistles like they are the only whistles worth unraveling ?? Why put so much emphasis on these type whistles ??

Good question for tomorrow… Good question though… we all need reassurance, so good question…..
