Characterful and finely detailed, this antique late Victorian 9ct Yellow Gold whistle is finished with a fabulously modelled dog’s head, with expressive features and excellent definition. The opposite end houses the working whistle, which functions as it should and plays a bea high pitch tone which adds to the charm and originality of the piece.
Fully hallmarked for the Birmingham Assay Office with the date letter ‘a’ for 1900, this whistle is in lovely condition and shows the quality craftsmanship expected of the period. A striking and collectable Victorian novelty, equally appealing as a functional object, a charm, or a standout piece of antique gold jewellery.
