Description from the seller
An authentic and nicely working brass speaking-tube whistle from maritime use. Complete with collection funnel, whistle and the original securing chain.
In this beautiful condition but rarely offered.
The whistle still works fine.
This type of whistle was formerly used on ships to call/warn the engineer or helmsman via a speaking tube. Blowing through the tube made the whistle on the other side sound. Then one would remove the whistle to talk through the funnel.
A magnificent, working piece of maritime history. Ideal as decoration on a desk, cabinet, or for the nautical collector. Possibly suitable for the restoration of old ships.
Photos are part of the description.
The whistle is packed very carefully, shipped by registered mail and insured with a track and trace code.
See my other lots and potentially save on shipping costs.
Not shipped to the United States.
