Dating and Verification
According to the Whistle Museum's dating criteria, it bears distinct features indicative of its time, including the thin concave loop and the 'Sand clock' shaped mouthpiece. Notably, the address on the body, with a dot after the 13 and an un-underlined 'T', further authenticates its production between 1889 and 1900
