For your consideration is an antique 1921 copy of "The Tunes Dad Whistled." A song book featuring 21 titles and musical games. Designed to "provide entertainment for many happy occasions", this book series was published by The Baldwin Piano Co. who still produce some of the worlds finest pianos and have for artists such as Aaron Copland, Liberace, Dave Brubeck, Marian McPartland, Ben Folds, and Miley Cyrus. 

A book that managed to survive WWII, The Great Depression, and many other significant parts of US history!

This listing features all original pages and cover with every piece being fully legible. There are places of wear across the entirety of the book. Most wear is in the form of discoloration and worn edges, but tears are also present in this book. On pages 7/8 and 31/32, there are tears present at the top of the page. For continued preservation of its condition, this book will ship sealed and padded appropriately. 

Would make for a great piece of Baldwin history, American music history, and in general, American history. 

Thanks for your consideration!

*International Buyers – Please Note:


Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.


Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.


We ship international items primarily by USPS. If item is too large, for that country’s size restrictions, it will not ship. As stated above, please get a shipping quote to find out if item can be shipped to your location. 



On international sales a tracking number will always be posted. Often times, once the package clears customs, the tracking number is no longer useful and there is no way of determining the location or delivery status of the package. Because of this, international sales are final upon shipping of the items. 


We will not change items type or sales amounts on customs forms. Please take this under advisement before bidding.
