A tiffany bosun's whistle

Never heard of such a thing
No bosunsmate I ever knew would have one made by tiffany.

Maybe one of the Village People might.

Well, anything made by Tiffany is always desirable, and highly collectible....I'd say you did real well on the sale!

Tiffany and co made lot of stuff and pre 1900 ship command staff where wealthy in most cases .

"In 1862 Tiffany & Co. supplied the Union Army with swords (Model 1840 Cavalry Saber), flags and surgical implements."


i also would never sell tiffany and co silver for melt value since the name alone with worth more then melt on most items .

Yea and at yard sales anybody that has anything marked tiffany thinks they can get Macy's prices. A lot of that is just mass produced just like other silver items. A lot of their jewelry, to me, is no more valuable than any other piece of 925. Tiffany got their quality reputation from their early 1900's products.
