Title: ID for this Cuckoo whistle please?
Post by: hog-man on April 23, 2015, 05:42:14 PM

Hi guys,

Picked up this cute little bird whistle in a job lot at auction ~ the hole in the top makes it two-tone so you can make it sound like a Cuckoo! It's rather Scandinavian in style and the bottom has an impressed mark of two triangles ~ I know I've seen this mark somewhere before but I can't for the life of me remember what it is and would be very grateful for any information about it.

Many thanks in anticipation, John.

Could that be an 'm' or a 'w' ? just guessing, ;D

Thanks for that, Keith. Although the mark is 2 triangles, it could easily be seen as a stylised W or M ~ the thought had crossed my mind!
