Repro ACME Thunderers

[Steve H]

Saw these on eBay- report A^M ACME Thunderers- this one is sold aged but they have new chromed as well. Looks OK so I bought one and its on its way. At AUD$30, its cheaper than losing an original off your flight gear!

Aero were moving these A.M. marked ones. Got one as a gift when I bought an original Bronco from their collection a couple of years ago. In a drawer somewhere. They work just like originals!

They still make these so they aren't repros surely ?
I saw some boxed ones for 5 pounds last week end.

They are somewhat different to the originals ,with the "ACME THUNDERER" stamping on the top of the whistle.

Just an observation

You are correct Littlebuddy- if anything these are over-marked. Good thing really because as John said, they re still made, so not really repros. The extra stampings just separate them from the original 40's models and could assist with stopping fraudulent selling.

Either way they are nice and as Couchy said, they sound the same! :lol:
