Large steam whistle

[Nicbertrand]

Hey everyone! I have an old garage find that I'm looking to fix up but I'd love some more information on it. The whistle stands almost 3ft tall, no markings and looks to be a 3 chime. I dont know if it came off an old ship or train and was curious if anyone can help me identify it. Would love any info that points me in the right direction. Thank you!

Could be a whistle from a factory, as well. They were used to signal shift changes, among other things.

Are you looking to sell?

I am looking to sell eventually but I'd love to fix it up first and get an estimated value. Any info or advice would help! Thank you so much!

Did you happen to know what a refurbished whistle like this would be worth?

I do not need it refurbished, As is is good for our use. You are looking at $2250 fully refurbished, as is we would like to be at the $1000 price.

I would be willing to let it go for $1000 if you would like it. If you pay for shipping, ill build a crate to fit it

Can you please send the dimensions of the bell , length and diameter and overall length from the top to the valve input.

 

[drosenfeld]

Can you please send more specific details of the measurements. Thanks

Sorry! It was a hectic weekend! The bell is 8in wide by 16in tall. And overall length from top to bottom is 31in tall

Thank you, the whistle is going to be too large for our use.
