Looking for a Splitdorf plug in 1/2" pipe thread made for an explosion whistle. All you plug collectors or hoarders in general, here is a chance to make some money!

Thank you Dusty, I won't give up the hunt!
Yes sir, that's the plug. I have a few but am missing an example of that one.

My eyes are not as good as they used to be but do those look like they are welded on to the plug body?

Willy, here is a decent video showing a single note whistle being used:

They are colloquially known as a “chicken horn”.
The whistles themselves are all over T-Bay, and the spark plug adapters for a regular T plug are plentiful. Both the whistles and adapters were recently reproduced.
