FOR SALE

This very nice collection of steam whistles, artistically mounted on an elm stump

The largest of the two whistles are piped together as one sound. They are from the roof of a steam powered sawmill in upstate New Hampshire. One is a 6" X 12" bell three chime WIV and the other is a 6" X 14" bell size plain with a separate valve. This mill ceased operations about 1950 after running for over 70 years. The whistles came from locomotives scrapped at the Woodsville, NH RR yards. They should sell as a pair.

Also on the stump are the following:

  1. 2 1/2" X 12" w/valve and long acorn nut
  2. 3" X14" w/valve and long acorn nut
  3. 3" X 12" w/valve and long acorn nut
  4. 3" X 7" bell size with valve
  5. Automobile 4 chime whistle 14" long with 1" tubes
  6. Automobile 4 chime 18" long with 1 1/2" tubes

All are brass in fine condition with original patina
