For reason unknown, some Girl Scout whistles had the trefoil engraved upside-down.

  • Unfortunately quality control was poor with these whistles. The plastic trefoil insert was glued without care, leaving the trefoil at any angle.

  • The whistle disappeared from the GS catalogs after 1977, but probably was still available until the new whistle debut in 1982,
