You are bidding on an original vintage Sherburne Co. of Boston Mass. Caboose Whistle marked DMIR for the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railroad in good to very good condition.The whistle is heavy, weighing 2 pounds and 11.8 ounces on my postal scale, and stands about 7 7/8 inches tall.The push button freely works, and the whistle arm is moveable, but is very tight, needing a lot of effort to move back and forth.The base of the whistle is marked DMIR, for the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range. This whistle was acquired with a lot of DM&IR locks and keys. Because the patina has been stripped to its original brass, I have the starting bid price set as a common whistle, not one marked DMIR. I have a close up of the markings as well.I have the front, back, sides, top and bottom of the whistle shown so you can assess its condition.If you have any questions, including shipping and payment, please feel free to contact me.
