🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Buggy Tip?

[JeffDowns]

I was told at one point (maybe on here) that this was a buggy break tip. Any other thoughts.
Any idea what the word(s) are on the one side?

This is not buggy tip, more likely an old whistle

Buggy tips usually have a little taper?

Does look like a whistle---Here Kid put this metal object in your mouth while you run down a dirt road, what could go wrong?

Looks like it has an old car design on side

Top pic, a letter is missing, but I bet it says DUKE.
There was a Duke name associated with whistles.
Again, topic, under what looks to be an Emappears to be the number 19.
At the far right of the same pic appears to be the letters CO, or SO.

Nope. Not a match.

Not a valve stem cover.

Likely the remains of a police style or general services whistle.
