Description: | Possibly Copper alloyWhistle. Cast tube with a pair of opposed rectangular slots at one end and a metal plate or reed within it at the other; an apparently separately cast and collared mouthpiece is attached at the slotted end. The tubular element bears the stamped legend: J. HUDSON & Co / Birmingham / 1916, which may supply an apt date. The manufacture of a whistle in Birmingham may suggest it was intended for military or police use as such objects would more usually be home made in an agricultural setting. Suggested date: Modern.Length: 62.1mm, Diameter (mouthpiece): 18.2mm, Thickness (tube): 1.2mm, Weight: 23.67gms.
