I now have six of them, lol

I had a look and 4 of them say 1978. The other 3 are smudged so I can't make them out, but I presume they were from around the same time.

I tested them using a 9v battery, very impressive for their size

I'm not sure which decade they were made. Six of them all look identical with the same style of writing and motors, but one has slightly different style of writing and a smaller motor. I'll take pics of the motors etc soon. Do you still have all of yours?

I have 7 minimites, still less than you though

They are all 12v. I'm trying to upload a pic but it won't let me

Yes, the minimites are smaller and significantly quieter than this. I have 7 minimitea, I'm about to post a pic in another forum

Ah, thanks. I've seen similar ones also used on old fire alarm systems here in the UK. It's higher pitched than I expected it to be, I thought at first the motor was spinning too fast, but probably just how it's meant to sound.

Hi, I recently bought this nice little siren. It has 10 ports, I believe it's was made by Carter's of Burnley, but I'm not certain. I don't suppose anyone would know much about it? It is really high pitched, and REALLY loud!
Thanks

Hi, did you manage to sell your siren? I have 3 of these, they were usually used as fire alarm sirens. I'd like to get more to add to my collection of small sirens.
