I have a nickel plated whistle marked;
J.Hudson&co
13,Barr St
Birmingham
Patent
1904
The whistle is cylindrical and would be commonly recognised as a police whistle.
However,I have checked the website of the manufacturer,now called ACME and all whistles of this description manufactured for the police force,ARP and railways have markings indicative of the institution that they were used by.
This whistle has only the markings above and as far as I know they werent made for civilian use.
Could anyone explain who this whistle was made for?

This Whistle sounds like it was made for a Caption or first Officer on a ship
