his
vintage whistle is known as a pea whistle. Airflow moves the “pea” in
the body of the whistle and produces the “signature rolling trill” of
The Acme Thunderer. It’s made of metal and is about 1 3/4 inches long
and 3/4 inches tall. It is in used condition and still has a nice shine,
although there are some scratches and dings. Please see the photographs

The
ACME Thunderer is one of our most iconic and time-tested designs and it
is loved by people all over the world; from sports referees and
government officials to private security firms and dog trainers, people
from many different professions and lifestyles depend on the reliable
and consistent performance of the ACME Thunderer. It was the world’s
first sports whistle, and its thundering sound can be heard on football
pitches, ice hockey rinks and a multitude of other sporting environments
internationally.
First
developed in 1884 by a small and dedicated team, it remains one of the
most popular whistle designs ever produced with poor copies being sold
globally. However, when you get your hands on an authentic ACME
Thunderer the superior quality of the materials and tooling becomes
apparent. This is because our genuine Thunderers are still made by hand
using traditional techniques and much of the original equipment dating
back to the turn of the 20th Century. It is also known as the ‘Titanic
whistle’, due to the fact it was used aboard the ill-fated vessel, the
Titanic.
