For anyone who might be interested I just put my Burke brass C whistle on eBay as #7418060610 with no reserve (it was made June, 1999, and carries serial number 00002). Please ask any questions via eBay rather than this forum.
The second Burke ever?! Wow, it’s a piece of history!
And it doesn’t look like it swallowed a grape.
Maybe the second production model ever. I doubt Michael never mad ea proto or two.
I actually struggled with that wording. I was going with “second Burke
ever sold”, but I thought that also may not be true. I should’ve said
“second Burke ever numbered”
