Alarm rattle
The rattle was donated to Heddlu Gwent Police by Edgar C. Carlise-Jones. It had been in his family since 1801 and was first used by the Bow Street Runners in London. It was the oldest exhibit in the Heddlu Gwent Police historical display according to their notes.
Rattles were replaced by police whistles from the 1880s
Police rattle used to raise an alarm or summon aid. Constructed of wood, with two blades held in a frame and a ratchet turned - to make the blades `snap' thus creating a very loud noise.
