Description

This is an early double whistler, and interestingly, when the first tune is finished, a cross over lever activates the second tune. One tune is "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" , and the other is "A Friend of Mine". Both whistle, but movements are dirty and the bellows are weak. Both figures retain original patina and muted colors, along with well detailed carving. The rear dust covers are replacements. Height 13.75Ó $1,200-$1,800
