Here's an item that certainly doesn't turn up very often!  It's a very large Crosby 8-inch steam whistle.  I'm pretty sure it is a Crosby as the top nut leads me to believe but if it isn't please educate me.  I can't find any makers name on it.   It is in excellent original condition with no cracks, breaks, or repairs of any kind except for a small patch in the bell which I believe may have been done at the factory.   It measures about 23 1/2 inches tall overall and has a 8 inch diameter three chime bell on it.  It measures almost 9 inches at it's largest diameter.  This whistle is entirely made of bronze or brass and it is HEAVY!  It has some surface nicks, scratches, and a small blemish that I've pointed out but I think this could be remedied quite easily.  It has 2 inch pipe threads and they are in great shape.  The hex flats are also in nice shape and not all beat up.   It has a great original patina to it or you could polish it if you so choose.  The patch in the bell has been soldered in and it was done a long time ago.  It is above the steam chamber as it is in the shortest of the three chambers.  This will not affect the whistles performance or sound and could easily be displayed at the back of the whistle and not be seen.  Original whistles this size hardly ever turn up in the wild or even at swap meets as most of them are already living in collections!  They really sound nice with some steam through them!  If you've been looking for one here's your chance.  It will likely be a long time before another one turns up and it probably won't be this nice.  The pictures tell the story.  I can deliver this for free to LeSueur, MN, Baraboo, WI, Portland, IN, or Coolspring, PA, engine shows or swap meets later this year.  I can be reached at 262-573-1931 if you'd like to talk about it.  Good Luck.
