Check out this old whistle on e-bay. Anyone recognize it? I've never seen one with a mark like that.

In the second link, it looked like two soprano recorders and a pennywhistle. I wonder how tin whistles get identified as "fifes" since fifes are blown like flutes. Surprising what one finds on eBay, isn't it?

The 'vintage flutes' are definitely plastic recorders - worth about $5 each, I guess (new). Of course plastic made before the new millenium could be classed as 'vintage'(maybe not). The whistle is a walton's brass D, in the Soodlums pack - but not sure of the exact model.

Saw this and was just too intrigued to not bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... URL=0&rd=1
Comes from a town near my hometown. It was my 'what the heck' bid.
Any guesses on what the thing by the embouchure is?
