Antique Crosby Brass Three Chime Steam Whistle, Railroad, Locomotive, Boat, Ship

Description

This is an antique Crosby Brass Three Chime Steam Whistle, complete with a brand new United Brass valve.  This whistle is overall just over 10 inches tall and is 2 inches in diameter.
It has a 1/2 inch threaded inlet.
Weight is just under 4 pounds.  It reads CROSBY STEAM GAGE & VALVE CO BOSTON USA under the rim of the bowl.  The valve is a brand new 1/2 inch whistle valve made by United Brass.  The valve reads UNITED BRASS on one side and WSP 1/2  200 on the other side.  I have tested this whistle on air at 80 pounds of air pressure and it works and sounds great, making a very nice, high, melodious sound!
Please look closely at the photos as this is exactly what you will be buying.
I do see some a couple of dents in the bell (see photos) and some scuff marks and very tiny ping marks under the bowl (see photo).   There is either an
almost unnoticeable
very small crack or a casting flaw at the center stud at one of the chime dividers (see photo).  There is some old silver paint at the top that is almost worn away.  It would be great for display in a railroadiana or maritime collection as a museum piece, or to use on a steam locomotive, factory, sawmill boiler, ship, tugboat, riverboat paddle wheeler, steamship, steamboat, steam traction engine or steam tractor, amusement park railroad train, trolley or interurban tram, antique fire engine or firehouse, firetruck, etc.
No reserve, very low starting bid, and only for USPS priority shipping, packaging, and insurance in the USA.  Good luck bidders!
