whistles ‘under the radar’ — Pringle

One of my favorite  whistles is made by Pringle out of the UK. They went out of business during the 60’s.

However they made a top notch escargot. And personal research places them much earlier than Gilchrist suggests. He dates them to the 50’s–I would date them back to the 20’s !!!

Hand made construction with very distinct design qualities. Take for example that simple wire top instead of a round knop. Never comes loose !!!

They can be found in plated brass, pure nickel silver or even silver plated.

They are light too, but very strong. The sides are hardly ever dented in.

So — check this one out on eBay >>>> 191353329074  GREAT  patina !!!!

Don’t say I never gave you anything !!! Yah, I could have bid on it and sold it off,  but nooooooooo !! I want everyone to have one — that is everyone who is serious about collecting whistles.

I usually carry one with me for safety. It’s my pick for traveling and makes me smile at it all the time as it truly is a great whistle 🙂

…Then there is that terrific logo of crossed axes — way cool and the name taken from the street where the warehouse was…

What is it you ask ??? Well, go look at it yourself, you have the eBay number now ….

It would have gone for pittance and may still– what a bargain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
