Tin Whistes Made in Germany

[weezeepants]

I found these in my inlaws attic. My father in law was born in 1931 and he told me collected these when he was a child. Can anybody tell me anything about them? I read on the web the two tone whistles are more rare. Does anybody have any idea what they might be worth? I couldn't find anything concerning value. They were made in Germany so I'm guessing the age is prior to WWII?

Thank you!

Thanks Jim ... there's probably close to 40 whistles in the box.

I am 73, grew up in the 40s & 50s and remember these whistles well. Wish I had kept mine but had no clue they would be collectible which they obviously are. I agree with the others, you have a treasure whether you decide to keep the or sell them. I remember Buster Brown shoes and Poll Parrot money (trade money).
