Description: | This wooden rattle makes a loud noise when turned by the handle. The rattle is traditionally associated with football fans showing their support at matches. However, in the early 1800s rattles were used by policemen as a means of signalling for assistance. They were replaced by the policeman's whistle in the 1880s. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East emergency services sport | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
