I was going through an old Leedy trap case of mine from the early 20s and came across this wooden "train whistle." Haven't seen many of these around lately. Just thought that I'd share the pic with you "vintage" gurus. Wonder if it's got any "collectible" value? It's actually in amazing condition IMO and sounds great.

I have never seen this train whistle style before. I search Ebay for whistles because I'm on the hunt for a few items.
If your lucky enough to find a set of Leedy whistles, your going to be in the $200 - $400 range. They are very collectible and there is an entire whistle group of collectors out there.
Here is a 1910 catalog of sound effects.
