Gold Plated Metropolitan Police Whistle 15

The Gold Plated Metropolitan Police Whistle makes a really thoughtful gift for a retiring policeman. The original ACME Metropolitan Police Whistle 15 was designed for the Metropolitan Police force to be heard over one mile away. It is also known as the Wilderness Whistle for exactly that reason. Its piercing sound is extremely loud and clear. Although a classic piece of British design for over 140 years, it still has many modern day uses. The Metropolitan Police Whistle 15 is the sound of authority. Furthermore it makes a great gift for any heritage enthusiast. Or a gift for a retiring Policeman or policewoman for when their beat finishes. Handcrafted on the original machinery in the Barr Street workshop.

Founded in Birmingham in 1870 by Joseph Hudson, ACME Whistles remains the world's largest and most famous whistle manufacturer, having produced over one billion whistles. Still handcrafted at their original Barr Street factory in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter, ACME invented the world's first police whistle in 1884, revolutionising Victorian policing on London's smoggy streets. Their iconic Thunderer sports whistle, first advertised in 1884, changed the game for referees worldwide and is now approved by FIFA and used globally. From the RMS Titanic's original ship's mates' whistles to dog training whistles trusted by champion trainers, ACME's precision engineering and hand-tooling using original machinery ensures each whistle receives meticulous attention from skilled craftspeople. Trusted by the Royal Navy, Ministry of Defence and RNLI, ACME Whistles represents 155 years of unparalleled British manufacturing excellence.
