The basic Hudson 5727 patent number was from 1908 and was for the "Two piece top" (flat ring/loop) . NB. De Courcy did not patent the "Two piece top" until 1916 (Pat.No 101303). Does your whistle have any number on the top ? (Edit : Just read your original post , 5727-08 would indicate Hudson whistle). Is the top ring/loop flat or concave ? The Hudson B3 Bukta regd. one on eBay has the flat ring/loop (see photo) indicating it is post 1908 , so could actually have been sold to scouts ???? Sorry , more confusion than confirmation. .

I'm probably Whistling in the Wind:
Bukta made sporting goods, how about the whistle being made for referees? Regards. Brian |

Took me back to my school days in the 1960s. We definitely had rugby shirts and shorts made by Bukta

Based on the info I've found and the second photo you posted : 1. The whistle was manufactured by Hudson (based on the patent number). 2. It was made from 1908 onwards (based on patent number which was registered in 1908). 3. It has the "two part" top , as opposed to fixed ring/loop ( patent number 5727-08). NB. Hudson catalog lists various whistles they manufactured , some with their own makers mark and others under their "Acme" branding. (eg. The Acme Referee , the Acme Boy Scout and the Acme Sea Scout). 4. Bukta sold Hudson manufactured whistles but they appear to have been 'generic' ones marked with only their own reigistered branding. (REGd BUKTA) NB. Bukta produced sporting goods , Scout/Sea Scout uniforms and even tropical uniforms for the British Army for the First World War , so any of these groups could have bought the whistles. The only thing that may possibly differentiate the whistles is the B2/B3 marking , could this refer to different tones/pitch available ? PS. Info from Whistle Shop and Whistle Museum websites. .

Would the end of my whistle be a clue to narrowing the age of it down? as it’s not a ring loop as such on it...

Could be that the B means something different than tone, just cant think for the life of me what B would stand for... its all rather fascinating... 😊 |
