Dixon Pewter Whistle c.1840

A pewter pea whistle by Dixon & Sons, (the growing family prompted a name change from "Son" to Sons" in 1835).

The whistle is in working order with signs of pocket carry causing the maker's name to be partly obscured, however, there is no distortion to the over all shape of the whistle and its wooden fipple is original, held securely by its original brass pin.

A nice item in working order, measuring around 50 mm in length.
