Vintage noisemakers
- 1/2
- »»
A noisemaker is something intended to make a loud noise, usually for fun.
Noisemakers are popular with children as toy musical instruments. They can be perfectly included in loud rhythm bands.
The word may refer to:
- Fireworks
- Pea whistle
- Air horns and party horns
- Ratchets, an orchestral musical instrument played by percussionists
- Sirens
Noisemakers are also popular with children as toy musical instruments (I don't think parents would agree with this ;-). They can be perfectly included in loud rhythm bands and used at for example, weddings!

We used a collection of over 100 tin noisemakers from the Detroit area for our daughter's wedding this month (many of which are Kirchhoff) and would like to pass them along to someone else. Quite a few have wooden handles and 20s era lithos. Others have plastic handles and less identifiable era lithos (polka dots, clowns, harlequins, senoritas, etc.) They are a big assortment of sizes, shapes and patterns. What do you recommend? Many thanks!

haha, what a great idea :-) If I were you, just put them on eBay, or... on Etsy.com. There are many interesting wedding stuff offered on Etsy so you'll definitely find a buyer there.
