All these five whistles date back from the 1950’s and come in different sizes.
Some are made of brass and others of nickle, four of them have been marked by their brands:
– brass – H.W.C – whistle
– the ACME – Made in England
– Gold Cub – 1812
– Champion Whistle
Due to time and use they show a nice oxidized patina.
They’re still functional and very decorative!

Vintage 50’s Venlonia parlor guitar, with original gigbag
This intrument was built in the 1950’s in the Dutch Venlonia guitar factory that has been operational since 1939.
It’s a very decorative piece of history that would fit perfectly decorating the wall of a bar, cabin or mancave!
The guitar is decorated with a beautiful faux pearl pickguard!
Even after 70 years the guitar still remains in very good condition!
Due to years of temperature changes the wooden neck bent upwards making it very difficult to tune and play.
Perhaps it might still be useable for slide playing.
Except of minimal treatment and replacing the strings I decided to leave the guitar in its original condition and leave it up to the next owner to either keep it that way or fully restore it.
Measurements:
Total length: 96 cm
Neck length: 58 cm
Width: 37 cm
