Please take a look at the photos to evaluate the condition for yourself.
The Acme whistle No. 58 first appeared in 1912, but since LMS (London, Midland and Scottish Railway) operated between 1923 and 1948, dating the whistle to the mid-1930s is reasonable.
The whistle bears the maker's mark "The Acme Thunderer" and is stamped with "LMS," confirming its authenticity.
