A trio of vintage cylindrical metal whistles, likely constructed from nickel-plated brass or similar base metal. The collection includes three distinct models. The bottom whistle is clearly marked “THE ACME CITY MADE IN ENGLAND PAT,” identifying it as a product associated with J Hudson & Co. (ACME), known for producing Metropolitan-style whistles. The top whistle is marked “NOBLE WHISTLE.” The middle whistle displays partially obscured text including “PAT.” All three items feature the characteristic cylindrical form with a side aperture and an attached split ring for suspension.
