The tricky thing about distributer stamps is that they look so official and all. You know, like they were MADE by them.
Say for example you have a beaufort – Kelley and Sons stamped clearly on the front and then above that Liverpool Police
Clearly a whistle made by Kelley and Sons !! NOT !!! As one gains experience and sees a lot of whistles, one personally catches the name as a distributor, or Googles it or…..
Looks in the back of CPWs at the fantastic list that was compiled by Martin Gilchrist and Simon Topman. Then you spot it was supplied by Hudson Company.
Can’t be tooooo quick though….
