I remember seeing one on ebay but don't remember what it sold for. They seem to be rare and very cool, what are you going to do with them?

Halls whistles
I found a photo of one that Copake had in an auction and it was a Halls Mechanical whistle. I was wondering how these mounted to a bicycle to keep them up right, well appearently mine are missing the second mounting bracket and spring loaded tensioner knob. I'm trying to see if the guy I got them from has them laying around somewhere and just didn't know they belonged together. It wouldn't be hard to make a mount and tensioner, it just wouldn't be original. Here is the photo I found. I will probably sell them at some point. It would have to be a good offer because once I sell these I probably won't have the chance to own another one.

Did anyone want to make an offer on these before I put them on the feebay? Here is an old ad I found on the net.

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Those are very cool. Looks like the lower mount clamps around an upper section of a front fork leg and the tire would ride on the center of the front tire when the spring loaded button is depressed. The upper clamp must fasten to the handle bar or stem. The crank arm on the whistle's wheel would pump the air in the cylinder to blow through the whistle. I'll bet they sound pretty good if in working condition. You are probably right about the slim chance of finding any more like those.

Going on the feebay tonight. I'll see what happens. No hurry to sell them.
