Acme whistles

I recently unearthed what looks to be a bosun's whistle in the aftermath of hurricane Juan in Halifax Nova Scotia. It appears to be made of brass and bears the inscription:J HUDSON Co. Birmingham 1939. It seems terribly little to go on but I thought to contact you to see if you might cast any light onto this whistle's history. I am contacting the Maritime Museum here, though I you may know more about this than they.
Thank-you.

Whilst taking up some old floor boards in our old cottage my husband has found a metropolitan whistle which we think is made of nickel. It has the patent number 5727-08 and is inscribed J Hudson & Co, Birmingham 1915. We think that a previous owner of the house may have worked on the railway. Can you give us any more information about it's history. Thankyou.
Anne & Terry Hickmott

My son owns a whistle which would be identical to the one that Anne & Terry Hickmott have found it also has the same patent number can you tell us anything about it

I have my grand farthers army whistle from world war one, he was haild a hero on the front lines. sergt john henry dobson 81157 the number on the whistle is J. Hudson & Co 1916 he was resposible to surply amo to the front lines while under atack from the germans, he got blowen up and was uncocious but rcoverd still full of shrapnel and blowing his whistle. I have the original paper cuttings to prove it.

just found 1915 whistle in my grandads old fishing kit , was interested about it's history,it looks like refs whistle it has no serial number on it.

I have an old Army Whistle dated 1902 on the side, on the face it has the words"THE ACME" then underneath that it says "HUDSONS PATENT" Can any one throw any information my way? It belonged to my grandfarther. Thanks.

I have a three in one whistle made by Achme, thought to be a shepherds whistle. Has anybody got any information on this please?

Re;- the above whistles.... any with the Patent number on the capo at the top ..5727-08 were made from 1908 onwards for some years. The 1915 and 1916 whistles were made by Hudsons,but were also made by other companies and dated thereon....e.g. De Courcey of Frankfort St,also in Birmingham.All the dated ones are Military. The triple whistle was made in several different styles,but basically they are shepherds whistles......with the letters G.D. and C...........for GO....DOWN....and COME. If anyone in contact with your site has any dated whistles prior to 1900 and ANY Police named ones then please do contact me via e/m. I am a genuine collector NOT A DEALER ! I hope this info. helps those requesting.Best regards,David.

hi i came across a j hudson 1916
with the patent number 5727-08
police whistle. i am willing to sell this item.would you tell me what kind of offer you are willing to pay for this item. if you require further info please email me.
thankyou.

To Lorraine,thanks for the e/m.Sorry been busy only just got back to read it. I do have a 1916 by J.Hudson. Thankyou anyway, David.

I found a whistle in my grandmothers jewlery box. It has the patent number 5727-08 on the top and the other markings on the side say THE CITY WHISTLE in a circle with the word PATENT in the middle. Is it also a Hudson or different? Thanks for any information pertaining to it.

I have my grandfather's police whistle complete with chain. The patent number is 5727-08 and on the side it reads 'The Acme Referee'. I can't seem to find any information about it. It is definitely a police whistle but I don't understand why it has the word referee written on it. Can you enlighten me? Thank you

Whistles marked on the cap 5727-08 were made in and after 1908(in that format) The City is yet another trade name of Hudsons ....AND....other whistle makers too....deCourcey for instance. The referee is what it says it is....a refs whistle!........ David.

I bought a whistle yesterday and it has the exactly same patent number as sarahs 5727 08. engraved on the side it says the city patent whistle what does that mean? it has a leather plaited lanyard andworks perfectly.

My grandpa has a similar one that was his grandpas. He used it when he was a posman in the early 1900s in Melbourne Thank you. Aris

I am no antique collector, but whilst clearing out an old back room in a scout hut, i stumbled upon a whistle. It was dirty and weathered, but i needed a whistle for a scout camp the next week! Whilst packing my pack, i cleaned the whistle and found it was '' The Metropolitan Patent, J Hudson and co. 131 Barr SI, Birmingham'' whistle. I have no idea what this means, but if anyone does then please tell me! Am i right in thinking its a Police whistle from the first half of the century?

We have an 1841 whistle from this company what would it be worth

I HAVE A WHISTLE WITH J.HUDSON&BIRMINGHAM ON IT PATENT #5727-05 MY DAD HAD THIS IN WWI. IS IT OF ANY VALUE? LET ME HEAR FROM YOU.

JANDERSON

I found what looks like an old police whistle that's been in our family for at least 60 years.
It has A.R.P. stamped on it in large letters and J. Hudson & Co, Barr St, Hockley, Birmingham, stamped underneath.
Does anyone have an idea what the A.R.P. stands for or how old the whistle might be?

By searching ebay under whistles, I've answered my own question above! There are a number of J Hudson whistles for sale with A.R.P. stamped on them and it stands for Air Raid Patrol. This also determins that it was issued to my dad during WWII. So now I know it's history.

well my grandfather passed away a few years ago
and he left me a few things in his will
and one of wich was a whistle
its always intreagued me, so i thought ide look it up
it is marked with "THE (in large letters) METROPOLITAN"
then under is says
J.HUDSON & CO
244 BARR STREET
BIRMINGHAM

then under the holes it says made in england
there is no other markings and i was wondering what kind of a whistle it was i was told it was my grandfathers fathers or his fathers
whistle "home guard" whistle and i dont know what that is
( the family history was destroyed so its hard to find out)
and also my grandfathers name was campbell murton wybrow
and his father was fred murton wybrow
thankyou from me morgan murton wybrow
morgan_joe130@hotmail.com

Sorry David, but I beg to differ; ARP as we knew it in Manchester England during the war, meant Air Raid Precaution and an Air Raid Warden was a person who patrolled the streets, checking everyone's blackout precautions were correct and no lights were showing. Also of course they were a great deal of help and assistance during the air raids. I myself have one of J.Hudson's whistles dated 1914, (correctly enscribed) which was my Grandfather's who served in France. I don't know for sure; but presume this to be one of a mass production; specifically made for the Second World War, does anyone know that for sure. Also does anyone have any history of the J.Hudson Family (I presume it was a family business at that time), as I would like to have such a history to keep with the whistle, along with other family heirlooms. eleary5@sympatico.ca

i have a brass whistle which has a screwdriver and a sort of hex driver and it has the number 12 stamped on it i think it has something to do with hunting and disgauging bullets, if anyone has any idea about it i would like your help thanks

I have a whistle with a crown and AM stamped underneath. Under that It has a serial number293/A A/22 CON14C. I would love to know the history of if anyone could tell me where to start looking to find the original owner.

Thank you

Hi I have a whistle from J. Hudson & Co 13 Barr St,Birmingham 1912 Hudson's Patent 5727-08. It has little arrows pointing up and down where the air comes out. I would think it must have been a police whistle.Any info on this would be appreciated.It was given to me by a teacher I had almost 40 years ago.

I have a whistle with 'The Metropolitan' engraved, no date or patent number. Second engraving states 'J. Hudson & Co Barr St Hockley Birmingham. Does anyone have any information on this? All others I have come acrost have dates or patent numbers on them - this does not.

Hello,

I have come across what seems to be a Police whistle. It has The Metropolitan listed in small capital letters with The Metropolitan Police listed under that. It is also stamped with J. Hudson &Co, 244 Barr Street, Birmingham. Just about the mouth peice it has a number that I'm assuming is a serial number 53750. I have been trying to research this whistle to learn a little history on it with no luck. I have found many Metropolitans but none with the MetroPolitan Police listed above the address. If any one can help me with this I would be very greatful. I can be reached by email at randibryant@cableone.net. I can also send pictures to whomever if that will help me identify it.

Meg Quinton- I have this same whistle that was given to me by my great aunt and uncle. It was my great uncle's who was in the US army in WW 2. This whistle was from his time in London. They have both passed so I don't know the real purpose of the whistle but can assume yours is from the same time frame and likely was used by the military.

I have a Hudson whistle inscribed J.Hudson 40 Birmingham. 1918. I wonder what it was used for. My husband read that soldiers carried one that could be heard above the gunfire if they required help?. Any ideas?. Jean.

I have a bronze coloured, old looking whistle with the markings J Hudson & Co Birmingham. CN 1985 and an arrow pointing up with 1955. I first thought it was made in 1955 or maybe it was 1985 but it appears it was probably before then. My question is, could this have been used by my late uncle during the War? He was an RAF pilot in a Lancaster as was killed in 1944. If not, who would've used this type of whistle and when? Thanks!

I have a silver whistle I found in my Great Grandmothers things after she passed. It has Patent 213487/24 across the rounded end on top and on the top of the mouth piece The Acme Reg then a smaller letter D underlined next to the word Reg and England Underneath. But the words on the mouthpiece are written vertically. Also on either side the name Ray is etched in. We dont have a Ray in our family so not too sure where it came from. Also has what looks to be a wooden or cork ball onside. Can anyone tell me ANYTHING about this whistle. Its in great condition.

Hi,i have a whistle which says, THE METROPOLITAN PATENT,j hudson & co,13 barr st birmingham,,,there is no other markings on the whistle that i can see,,my friend who is 66 gave it to me and told me it was his grandads,any helpers out there.

What a chronology of feedback for a very good brand of whistle !. I see lots of questions asked, but not many answers. I too am the owner of a "The Metropolitan" with the only ID being the letters stamped on the head "Patent 5727-08" and of course the words "The Metropolitan" on the barrel. I do know of its origin and use - it was a relative who was army major in the Australian Army in WW2. It has a woven cord attached that officers use to use which looped through their shoulder epaulet. It appears to be nickel plated brass. Reading the above, its appears that the makers did vary the markings over the years, with the mfrs name and address sometimes appearing. Its a pity no one has published a dated chronology of the variants so we can 'date' our whistles.
