Crafted in 9ct gold, the piece has a slim tubular form with engraved decoration across the body and a small suspension ring for attaching to an Albert chain or wearing as a pendant.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe whistle remains functional, while the opposite end is fitted with a 1mm square watch key for winding a compatible pocket watch. This dual-purpose construction makes it a particularly appealing little piece of Victorian ingenuity, combining a practical everyday object with decorative goldwork.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. There are two small pin dings to the body, but the whistle remains working and the watch key fitting is intact.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEra:\u003cbr\u003e\nVictorian, c.1890\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nUnmarked, tests as 9ct gold.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nLength: 27mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 5mm\u003cbr\u003e\nJump ring: 2mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWatch key insert: 1mm x 1mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight:\u003cbr\u003e\n1.2 grams","brand":"thenorthc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57642047078780,"sku":"CN1618","price":450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3423\/1615\/files\/cn1618-photo-2453-14f9482c4278.jpg?v=1791748982","url":"https:\/\/thenorthc.co.uk\/products\/antique-victorian-9ct-gold-working-whistle-pocket-watch-key-cn1618","provider":"TheNorthC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
