Metropolitan Police style whistle

This antique signal whistle, made of brass and copper, is based on the classic design of the famous Metropolitan Police Whistle, developed in England at the end of the 19th century. With its authentic patina and simple, functional design, it is a characterful collector's item from the first half of the 20th century.

Signal whistles of this type were used for many decades by the police, military, railways, and various organizations. Similar models were also standard equipment for Boy Scouts. Thanks to their loud, penetrating sound, they served as reliable signaling instruments long before the introduction of modern radio technology.
