Models and Whistle Types
While many makers concentrated on limited variety, J Hudson & Co made a wide variety of common whistle types, including bird calls, dog calls, fox calls, musical whistles as well as sound effects, slide whistles and novelty combination whistles. Some models, such as the Thunderer Escargot-type and the Metropolitan general service whistle, have been popular throughout most of the company's history.
Hudson was the only maker in the United Kingdom to use wood horn, Bakelite, plastic and silver, while other firms were working solely with metal or other materials, James Dixon & Sons in the 19th century being an exception.
