This amusing whistle came from none other than the Vivienne Westwood Flagship Boutique at 44 Conduit in London GB. I was actually perusing shops for a true Bobby Police whistle and mentioned it while shopping in the VW boutique. The fellow assisting me said "Ive got a whistle like no other" and he produced this whistle/keyring from a showcase in the rear of the boutique. I thought it was just so unusually adorable. I purchased it with nobody in particular in mind. True, I was buying gifts for friends, but I never had the nerve to give it to anybody. Over the years bridal showers and bachelorette parties have come and gone and I actually forgot about it...until the other day. I happened across it, still gift wrapped in its little pink bag! I gently unwrapped it to photograph it and decided it's time to say "BYE-BYE" to Prince Dickie. he has no markings, but he appears to be silver plated. Dangling at his side is the historic VW Orb. As you can see, the Conduit Street address is engraved on the keyring. He is about 3" in length and weighs in at an impressive 82.35 grams. I never blew into him, so I can't tell you how loud he can whistle...
