The whistles of GEORGE DOWLER remained for years unidentified, exept for a single speaking tube whistle,
Which identified and I brought before.
As time passed I gathered few that I atributted to George Dowler.
1852 (That was the year Thomas Dowler Died)
We do not have a lot of info. regrding whistles but we know that 10 years passed before the next mention,
We know from a short paragraph in 1862 about the whistles he made,
“Guard Whistles And Dog Whistles”

All the whistle are around 50 mm and weigh about 20 g.
their common denominator even though they vary in quality and style is
1) The fipple internal end is of conical shape
(View from window).
2) The loop hole is of a funnel shape, starting large and ending a little bit smaller, on both sides. (Excluding Ex. 1)
