whistle makers. collectible

Recently we talked ( well I did anyway ) about tracking down an unknown whistle. In other words a whistle that does not shout who made it.

However what do you do with a whistle that DOES shout out who made it and it just can't be true, or you have 'doubts' ??

Take for example the button whistles that say AULD MAKER. Then there are exactly alike whistles ( clones ) that say BEECH MAKER ????

Can't BOTH be right —  right ??

Yah, I know !!! Frustrating. What is going on here ?? And to add to that there are other whistles that say MAKER and add a name that is now dubious !!!

In fact why would anyone even do that ??? Dunno, but I can tell you this, it can be almost as frustrating as the last blog subject ARGH !!!
