This is just one item which was found in a relatives loft, who was a retired officer from the Force.

 

My research for this particular whistle is verified from the following Hudson link;

[link removed by eBay]

Hudsons moved address quite frequently at the beginning so the address stamped on the whistle gives the main clue:

  • 84 Buckingham Street : 1883-1884
  • 131 Barr Street : 1885-1888
  • 13 Barr Street : 1888-1909
  • 244 Barr Street : 1909-now

The next easiest thing to look for is engraved text on the top of the cap:

  • no text (commonest) : 1923 to now
  • PATENT 5727-08 (rarely just PATENT 5708) : 1908-1922
  • HUDSON’S PATENT 5727-08 : 1908-1909
  • PATENT APP FOR MAY 08 : 1908
