who made my whistle ?

March 18, 2015 by

So the next thing to think about to get to the bottom of ‘who made my whistle’ is a major red herring..

Distributor stamps !!!

Say for example Winchester. Big name in the collecting world. No name in the whistle world !! WHY is that ?? — didn’t actually make whistles !!!!!

Then there is Spaulding, Horstmann, Aird, Dardevle, Wright and Ditson, and oh how the list progresses !! Maybe in the hundreds !!!

The point being ?? All distributors, not whistle makers.

So when you come across one with a stamp on it, doesn’t mean that they made it huh ??

Whistles many times are like T-shirts with advertising on them. Made somewhere sure, but doubtful at the brewery named on them or sports team 🙂

Easy way to start ?? Just google the name.
