I was reently contacted by a man who purchased an Ashton 3 chime whistle a few years ago. It's a beauty and he sent me some pictures? I'm leaning towards a steamboat whistle. What do you think?

Re: Ashton Valve Co. 1871
I recently picked up an old Ashton pop safety valve. The tag reads Crosby-Ashton, Wrentham Mass so I can date the valve to some time after 1948, when the company had merged with Crosby and moved out of Cambridge to Wrentham.
