I believe the whistle sound is made by an iteration of the "AcmeSiren
Whistle". A tube shaped whistle, about half the length of a fat stoggie,
with a small propeller inside that spun when you blew into it. The little
prop spun up when you blew, and slowed down as you decreased pressure,
giving rise to the comedic effect. I think.

I assume that is because they were never played before.Every so often I have
seen a cylinder that is still factory sealed.

The sound on the "mosquito parade" almost sounds like one of those toy
whistle rings.Were they made then?
