Dear Avner Strauss,

I work as the photo editor for a series of history books published in Scandinavia. We found the middel image of the Chinese Whistling Diabolo toy on your blog, and would like to use it in an article about China.

Can you get in touch with me at:
hbv-billedresearch(at)bonnier.dk

regarding licensing the image and possibly sending a larger version of it?
I would be very grateful, and thank you in advance.

Many kind regards,
Jasmina

I found a Metropolitan Whistle left from my grandma that with stamp:

THE METROPOLITAN
J. HUDSON & CO
BARR ST HOCKLEY
BIRMINGHAM

Couldn't find any number on it, is it an export version? Because my Grandma was a Chinese who lived in India in her early ages.

I would like to more about it. Thanks
