Learn from known whistle collections. One of the first questions asked of a whistle collector is ‘how many whistles do you have ?’ Of course this isn’t for competition, but a thirst for knowledge and a deep reserve often reflects whistles never seen before. It is an almost insatiable thirst for types, age, use, history etc.

Another factor is that by and large they are inexpensive, so always the search for a bargain. The next logical question is ‘how do you display them ? Rightfully so, as one may be proud of them. However a deeper reason is how do I keep from ‘doubling up’ after I have gotten hundreds of whistles ?

And yet, the even deeper reason would likely be, how do I reference them unless they are organized. So, this section points to the many diversified ways to organize whistles.

It is always surprising how different each collection is. Not just the displays, but the types of whistles favored. The dominant countries of associated collectors are the UK as a front runner, then United states, followed by France, Germany and ??

This is not to say there are not bigger, better, more organized collectors, but of the world class that communicates with other collectors, these are what can be shared to edify us all.

One collector who has specialized in plastic whistles has over 10K whistles and devoted an entire room for them. We at the Whistle Gallery have done the same now. Most times much smaller displays suffice an fit anywhere.

Invitations are being given out constantly as collectors increase and personal collections increase in size, but that is not the point. All that matters is the enthusiasm and innovation.
