For all those suffering from an acute case of WhOA:

My favorite feature (besides the loooooovely color): " Some vintage tooth marks." ;-)=

So, are the vintage toothmarks supposed to be a plus?

I'm afraid my first word when I saw the picture was

"!?"

As long as we're on the subject of Tonette-like, recorder-inspired, patent schoolroom instruments, check these out!

How's that for a conical bore? And now available in transparent plastic, the better to see your "condensation"! The greatest thing in schoolhouse gross-out since they started putting slime in cannisters!

I think my whistle should have come with award stickers too.

Never saw a red one before. Now I wish I hadn't. It's just too disturbing. "Tooth marks?" Sounds like maybe this time the 'rug rat' really WAS a rodent.

I think the sticker idea is great. I probably would have earned at least two by now, maybe even three.

I guess I'd be still trying for my 1st

"Vintage tooth marks"....

Might this be the mysterious zubivka, so noted by our own eponymous and chiffworthy Zubie-dubie for its being "played with the teeth" (zub)? Judging from its color, I would venture that it dates from the time of the Soviet Bloc.

Cool. If vintage tooth marks on a tonette make it worth more, than have I got the tonette for you. I've got a black one that appears to have been a pacifier

Ah! the dulcet screech of the Tonette! A virtual cornucopia of musical wonders. Well, not as sweet as the recorder, which is the noise of the angels, but definitely right up there with the lollipop slidewhistle!

I once knew a hairdresser named Tonette...she had such a bouffante that if she stood in front of a light source, you could see her skull thru it.

Geez, Walden, enuf with the Food lichen, already! Do you have any idea how much it slows down my screen? Really.

Then again, I suppose I don't have to wait around to gawk at it...

The condensation in a whistle pop is just too scary to think about.

Did you see the Suzuki premium, a mini-recorder on a keychain? Who's going to be the first to get one??

*shudder*
