Hah, I love a Bobby's whistle. I bought one for my mom when she was being taken care of by my sister in her big house. I figured she could use it to summon my sister in an emergency, but it took more breath than she could muster to make it work properly (she was in her eighties & pretty frail). We got her a bell instead, and I eventually ended up with the whistle again.

Paul are you having a blast from the past? Are you remembering the days you were chased by a guy with one of these?

My wife picked one up somewhere and it is on the keychain to the pole barn (where the 0029 is sleeping). I just picked it up and blew it to see if it really worked. It's LOUD
