A charming antique sterling silver whistle dating to 1881, featuring a beautifully detailed spaniel in motion mounted to the top. The sculpted dog adds wonderful character and makes the piece especially appealing to collectors and dog lovers alike.
The whistle remains fully functional, producing a clear tone, and is a good size to wear as a pendant or watch fob if desired.
Offered in lovely antique condition, with just a few very minor dings to the reverse, consistent with age and use. The fine detailing to the spaniel remains crisp and expressive.
A delightful late Victorian novelty piece with both decorative and practical appeal.
