Pick this the other day. Took a shot it being vintage but I tried to date it & it is more difficult than expected.
Any whistle guru's out there?

Thanks Paul 20201023_200526.jpg20201023_200557.jpg20201023_200544.jpg

Probably not the exact date of that one, but here’s what a quick google search got me

“In 1884 the ACME Thunderer, the world's first pea whistle, was launched. Offering total reliability, control and power to the referee, it is now the world's biggest selling whistle. There is not a major league sport that has not been graced by this whistle.”
 

I think Wile E. Coyote had one of those Acme whistles.
 

Hi , Old whistles have a pea in them , Modern whistles have a cork ball Tp
 

You can take it with you metal detecting in the woods to scare the bears away!
I actually need do that where I hunt...
