Description
A vintage ACME Thunderer is one of England sports most iconic items, loved is loved by people all over the world; from sports referees and government officials to private security firms and dog trainers, people from many different professions and lifestyles depend on the reliable and consistent performance of the ACME Thunderer. It was the world’s first sports whistle, and its thundering sound can be heard on football pitches, ice hockey rinks and a multitude of other sporting environments internationally.
First developed in 1884 by a small and dedicated team, it remains one of the most popular whistle designs ever produced with poor copies being sold globally. However, when you get your hands on an authentic ACME Thunderer the superior quality of the materials and tooling becomes apparent. This is because our genuine Thunderers are made by hand using traditional techniques and much of the original equipment dating back to the turn of the 20th Century. It is also known as the ‘Titanic whistle’, due to the fact it was used aboard the ill-fated vessel, the Titanic.
Now that England Women won the cup, everyone needs a whistle!!
