Here I have a Swiss/French railway pattern pewter whistle. Because of the ornate stamp on the back, it gives me the impression it may be French made. Not sure time period (as a guess id say late 1800s) or what this whistles was used for.

Different shape to that!
Very Curious ! No info. At all ? Hmmmmm?
H Cosson, was a Paris whistle maker who made similar whistles but normally plated brass and used ring on pipe, this one is made of pewter and has a rarer bulb knop on pipe also I haven't seen one with this ornate pattern either. Could be an older type closer to mid 1800s or even a one of a kind.
