Beautiful early 1930's Ludwig baby cry imitation. As shown in the attached 1932 Ludwig catalog, this baby cry imitation is made of seamless nickel plated brass.

The Ward whistles also appear in the Leedy catalogs from the same period. Our Ludwig baby cry imitation sounds terrific and is in excellent condition. A baby cry imitation was a standard trap for the pit drummers of the early 20th century. This is a must have imitation for any period collection or vintage drum outfit.
