Tinman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I picket this up at auction a few days ago and have only recently seen a couple of these. Any ideas on what it is or it's origin/age; I was thinking a whistle but the sellers of both didn't mention it in their descriptions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golddalek Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Reminds me of a flutopone I use to play in grade school....But red instead of white. Indeed, this is a mystery toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 That definitely looks like a whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 And the three (or are there twelve) portholes should produce different "musical tonalities" . The exhaust end looks like a balloon could be attached, but the air would be expelled very quickly through those holes, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 It should arrive tomorrow and Joe is correct, it has 12 portholes. In all my years of collecting I've only seen two of these come up for auction, both recently; the other was totally red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Now that is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
