I think I have seen one of these posted here in the past. It's small-ish, in E and marked 'foreign', for the British market I suppose.

Yep. One of the many Japanese or German made whistles. Many seem to be post-war.

A lot like the yellow whistle in the second picture. Also in E.

Tell us something.: I am playing whistles since 3 years ago but still at a beginner level. I especially like the tone produced by whistles of key of Bb.

Yes, it's a Dixon brass "Trad" in C. It actually needs too much air pushing for little ol' me.. I'll likely wind up selling it.

I have a modest collection of
SYN whistles
Bb
C
D
Eb
Susato V
C
D
Eb
Aulos Recorders
Sopranino-tenor
Moek Bass and Sub-Basse
Three or Four french horns (What I play professionally, and its a pipe...)
Set of Gibson fireside pipes in D
McCallum AB4DFA Highland set

ALWAYS NEED MORE PIPES... I might start building soon. I built brass instruments for years, and now I sharpen cutlery. I might start producing semi-precious metal tubes for unique sonorities. Sterling and Gold plated nickel rods and such.

And here is my only whistle. Pathetic I know. And technically its a toy, made by Schylling. I need a decent one but I seriously lack funds and its a minefield out there!
