I recently found this old whistle in a junk shop, it has seen better days and appears to have been used to keep time judging by the number of dents in it, however with a clean up and a putty tweak it actually sounds not bad, it has a nice, if slightly thin tone and is well in tune with itself.
It is wide bore andhas no identying marks but appears similar to a feadog in some respects, I have feadogs Mks 1 - 3, but the base of the fipple is angular and, as already said, the bore is very wide, a standard whistle fits into the bore with room to spare.
That’s exactly what it is. I think. I’m not completely certain because the whistles that looked exactly like that one never had any kind of label or mark. Soodlums came from the same or a very similar mould, but used different plastic, although it was still green.
In my experience these had even more extremely variable quality control than feodogs. The good ones were the best-sounding tube-bore whistles on the market, but the worst had horrible screeching issues. They came in both D and C, used a fatter but thinner-walled tube than feodogs, and the C and D fipple heads were interchangeable.
