Hello this is Michael this giant antique steam whistle 27in came from II Sugar Mill in Hawaii by the same family they're constructed the first Sugar Mill on the island of Kauai. This would be the Knutson and Robinsons that owned most of Kauai early missionaries now major landowners they also own the island of Niihau The Forbidden Island. This Sugar Mill plantation that covers thousands of Acres was started in 1830s I was very fortunate to recover these unique artifacts. they should be in a museum. so whoever wins bids will be very fortunate. I was told by one of the family members that the steam whistle was brought in from Norway they were Norwegian so good luck have a lot of fun I remember its historic importance there's not another one like it your friend Michael
