This is a joke right?

Current in production sirens are NOT what we’re here to talk about.

You all need to stop making up things to post about for the sake of posting.

It was never specified what type the creator wanted- there are sirens still in production on that list.
Besides, this thread wasn't created by you.

Sorry to derail
Sirens may not be sexy, but they sure work.

Yeah, the original post did include sirens that are still in production, just not commonly purchased (including modifications of Sentry's regular product line). To quote: "The main rule for this thread is that there must be at least 15 of the models remaining." Though supposedly that was supposed to say "at most," not least.

Another one: Grifco 663 - An elusive Australian Siren from company Grifco (stopped siren production 2002) of which two are known to exist, one somewhat nearby me.

Also, British General Electric Siren, horizontal 10/12 thing with like 20 louvers. About 5 in Australia, one about 10m from me.

I think those vertical dual head thingies that are all over southern aussie are BGE sirens, I've seen a picture of the inside of one and it looks exactly like those, so I have reason to believe that they are BGE's.
Also, BGE siren guts look very, very similar to the insides of the Fedelcode model 10 (you all call it the model 20 but a model 20 is just a bigger model 7). I wonder if they bought parts from Fedelcode and just made their own shroud and the 10HP motor 50hz?

Bit of a bump, but what about the Sterling K-2 and K-3? They are both very rare, only several confirmed K-2s and one(as far as I know) K-3(which there is a video of). I found a good video of a Sterling K-2: https://youtu.be/aboT8MFF7yA
And here is the K-3 video: https://youtu.be/hrWQhcJRUc0
