    Here we have two bone French made Whistles with Stanhope tops that have miniature photographs when you look through the lens . First one has 6 photographs of GT YARMOUTH. Market place, Yarmouth, Town Hall and Harbour, Britannia Pier, The Beach and The Market Place. Second one has two photographs , Palais Du Trocadero Exposition Universelle Paris & Palais De Champ De Mar. The pictures I have shown dont do the actual photographs any justice they are quite clear and amasing concidering their age.

      Yes Its a two bone or ivory French made Whistle from 1800s or even early 1900s. I would have to guess it was a lady's accessory. Mine are a souvenir from different land marks pictured in the little windows ( yours might of had a stanhope window but alot were made like yours). So our whistles were meant for the well to do of the time I don't think they were used as police, railway, or military whistles mainly because there isnt any markings on the body of the whistle as they would have had.
