This vintage gold whistle charm may be tiny but it is wonderfully detailed. Perhaps you're a sports coach or dog trainer, it would make such a sweet addition to a charm collection. It even makes a lovely light whistle sound when blown too!
The charm is made of 9ct gold with British hallmarks for the maker 'C&F'. There are also faint hallmarks for 9ct gold, what looks likely to be the Birmingham assay hallmark and the date letter 'Y' for 1948. There hallmarks are now quite rubbed and hard to make out clearly.
The charm measures approx 18.1mm tall (not including the jump ring at the top) by approx 4.1mm wide by approx 4mm deep and weighs approx 0.7g in total.
Condition - The charm is in good vintage condition with some signs of age and wear, including some surface wear to the gold and some very small indents. The jump ring is currently pushed closed. The whistle does work and makes a light whistle sound when blown. Please see photos.
*Please note the antique chain and box pictured are not included in the sale but the charm will be shipped in a new presentation box and pouch*
