JAMES DIXON & SONS PART I. A. ROUND WHISTLES. A.STRAUSS


PART I.A. UNDERCONSTRUCTION

ROUND & ROUND PEA WHISTLES

This part starts with metal whistles (one wooden) excluding Britannia metal made
whistles which are to be uploaded later, and continues with Ivory,
Horn & Stag horn made whistles. Materials & Identifying features for Dixon
whistles would be discussed later. The Part dealing with round whistles
terminating with an Animal Head can be viewed here, Part I here,The begining  of
Part II. a., Here.
Dew to the length PART I of the article was divided into 7 parts, all posted. 

Dixon’s whistle’s timeline divided roughly to three periods over the 19th
century;
Early – Pre 1835 Dixon, Dixon & Son
Middle – 1835 Dixon & Sons
Later 19th Century c. 1865 – 1900

The earliest whistles Dixon made were round whistles.
These were very sturdy cast or machined from one metal rod with no hole at top,
the drilled hole came later,  I believe the early ones were made mostly for
military use. and later quality was upgraded in terms of materials and designs
for the elite, sportsmen, and later for railways.
A very early type: A special knot was used to tie a lanyard to the whistle’s
top;
 This whistle uses the “Sheffield Fipple” (a term I coined here) which is
discussed in details, in a later paragraph here, and the round metal band below
mouthpiece which may well be unique to Dixon (to be verified).

The next photo shows another very early Dixon on the left with the same features
but a different top design, mushroom like.
A very early type beside the ‘next generation’

Underconstruction

See READ MORE For few dozens photos

Preface

This article is just a glimpse and a part of Part one in a very long 7 part
research into this type of whistles,  consider it a first draft , There are MANY
more which can be accurately dated and way more which I could not yet accurately
date
but as a draft it may inspire others and you may send and email to
info@avnerstrauss.com to add ask contact.
I would try to first cover  mostly British 19th Century and some whistles of
other countries without going into many details, since some countries deserve
another article.
Part one is a draft and 19th Century General Time line and whistle designs.
