To find out the connection of the whistle you have — to the manufacturer, their location, their length of time manufacturing is a real pay-off. If there is a patent to match up even better. If it is previously unknown model even betterer. If, well you have the picture.
HOWEVER, the wait can be painful. Not the hunt mind you, that is almost as fun as finding the actual whistle !!!
BUT, it takes time to dig and dig and…
First you have to see what you are looking for, then get the whistles, then study them, then research them, whew, I am tired just thinking about it all…
….been on the trail of Frankfort…Colsoff….American whistle….They are all connected. Gotta admit to not being altruistic about this. None of the whistles are great in anyway…
Well, except those interlocking teeth around the barrel sides and the fact that circa 1920 there was a series of escargots with interlocking teeth–much more professionally done though. And THOSE I really want to unearth who made THEM.
Not like these smallish escargots with blunt over sized teeth….yet they are teeth and they do interlock …..ARGH !!!!! Is there a connection ??????
On the other hand there have been a couple other whistles made with the same manufacturing technique that were from other countries — made out of the USA ??
still….
