It is a term strictly used by collectors, it refers to all buttons constructed with one hole on the top and two or more holes on the back. This was done to save on the wear and tear of the thread. When the button is sewn on, the thread becomes recessed, therefore protecting it from daily wear. Whistle buttons can be found in a wide variety of materials.
