Item Description
Introducing The Acme Thunderer Whistle No 58 – a vintage gem from the 1930s, proudly made in England and carrying the legacy of LMS Railway Guards. This iconic piece, The Acme Thunderer No 58, boasts a classic pea whistle design with a distinctive cork ball, skillfully crafted by J Hudson & Co., the renowned Birmingham-based manufacturer.

Stamped proudly with "The Acme Thunderer LMS" on its mouthpiece, this whistle exudes authenticity and historical significance. The inclusion of a large split ring on the back ensures convenient use with a lanyard, enhancing its practicality for railway guards and collectors alike.
Meticulously constructed from brass and nickel-plated, the whistle showcases a beautifully aged distressed finish, adding a touch of vintage charm. Its production in England ensures a commitment to quality, as it is crafted using the same machines that were employed during the challenging times of World War I.
A true testament to enduring design, The Acme Thunderer No 58 stands as one of the most iconic and time-tested whistle models globally. Its roots trace back to 1884 when a small, dedicated team first developed the Acme Thunderer, creating a legacy that transcends generations.

Dating and Verification
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.
