vintage whistles

interesting subject as to what constitutes a vintage whistle. When you look up vintage most everything is about WINES !!

Is there any comparison of wine to whistles ?? I mean besides the fact that they both start with a "W" ??

Well, we can point to certain years of production and that is similar.

And one can have great tasting wine and have great taste in whistles.

Then, both wines and whistles can be heavy or light.

Could we compare the patina ( color ) and still be similar ??

And don't the rarest cost a lot of money ??

Sometimes you come across a certain year that is unknown and rather inexpensive and of course the same can be said for whistles.

Some countries produce outstanding wine. In fact many times those countries produce the best whistles too !!!

Each has its own sound too ( as when you pop the top of a wine bottle) and almost unbelievably coincidental is that they both have corks !!!!

Stampsversus labels, pontils on both, different makers, both have mouths….just goes on and on     🙂

So when we say "vintage" whistles will you ever look at them the same ???
